Wayland games anyone? I don't know about their US postage though.

Odd, they seem to be none existant, Plasto that is. Maybe this tube I have in my room is a figment of my imagination? Maybe all my tubes are figments of my imagination? Maybe I only think I am posting on a wargaming forum and I am actually posting on a fishing forum and everbody thinks i'm an insane nutter randomy spurting out about these odd things called 'Green Stuff' and spitting on an odd devil figure call 'Ward'.


How did I start typing about this?

Wouldn't normal green stuff and rubber brush for shaping and cleaning be just as effective? Don't get me wrong, the product sounds very useful, but for the price I was wondering if there was a cheaper alternative out there.

Yes but is it anywhere as good/easy to use. Just because using normal bases, PVA glue, sand and flock is easier does not make it the reason for not making/sculpting scenic ones or buying resin ones.

Is there not similar shipping in the USA? If so just add it to an order?

Silly people buying direct from GW. Haha...

Silly people getting their liquid GS. What fools.

FYI--- GW does free shipping to the US on all orders over $30. So either go to a GW and buy the liquid GS, or order some more stuff from their site until you hit $30.

Liquid Green Stuff is the putty equivelant of washes. By this I mean, "artist in a can" type thing. It is very easy to fill gaps and leave a (mostly) seamless surface after. A littly practice and you can get figures where people won't be able to identify where the gaps were after priming with very little effort or cleanup on your part.

Yes, ounce for ounce two part putty is cheaper. However, the problem with using two-part putty for filling gaps is that people frequently make too much and that leads to a lot of waste. If you wind up wasting lots, how much money are you really saving? By using a damp brush to put green goop into cracks, you eliminate nearly all of the waste and can fill and shape to the existing surfaces far easier than what you could do with regular putty and a color shaper. Green goop doesn't sculpt though, so you will need buy two-part putty for that.

After all, half of GWs main market is 12 year old kids.
