I was looking around the internets for a handy conversion guide for turning GW plastic into older marks of power armor, but they all are a little dodgy. They all involve green stuff and that's off putting because its hard to get sharp lines with green stuff. Has anyone found a convincing method for making older marks of power armor? I really don't care if it is time consuming or anything. In fact, I prefer a more involved project.

I went to Hershey Park in central PA this year, and I have to say I was more than a little disappointed. I fully expected the entire theme park to be make entirely of chocolate, but no. Here in America, we have "building codes," and some other nonsense about chocolate melting if don't store it someplace kept below room temperature.

I don't think you are going to find a good option that isn't just buying forge world, or using greenstuff. Kind of hard to make custom stuff without greenstuff, though you could use brown stuff and file it to get harder edges.

A mix of Greenstuff and Milliput seems pretty popular for straight edges. You get the workability of Greenstuff and the file-ability of Milliput, without Greenstuff's insane amount of memory and Milliput's crumbliness.

I will look into that. Thanks!
