Hi All -
I've been using greenstuff and procreate for converting 40k plastics, but don't like the rubbery result when cured.
I just tried a little brownstuff, but didn't enjoy working with it (i can't say why. I just didn't bend right for draping cloaks), and it cured a bit too brittle to my liking.
And honestly, I really hate mixing 2-part epoxies as I am never confident I'm getting a good ratio. Nor even what ratios are good.

I realize that I am just inexperienced, but would like to get off to a better and more encouraging start.

I do a fair amount of FIMO work with my daughter, but assume I can't bake it once on a mini.

Anyone have suggestions for alternatives to the two-part epoxies that dry hard enough to take sanding and drilling? Something that sticks well to hard plastics (and maybe resins) and can be cured right on the mini?

Thanks in advance.

Miliputt

Also, mix miliputt and greenstuff together 50:50 and it is almost perfect

+1 for Milliput

Milliput is hard, can be drilled, sanded and can take some punishment without damage but details are harder to get. Milliput + GreenStuff (50:50) will give you hardness and good details. Another way to work is to do a Milliput base and a detailled layer with GreenStuff.
Milliput's hardness can be a drawback since you cannot bend it once cured (but it can be softened with Glanzer if you want to remove it).

Since you have green and brown stuff why not mix the two.

so 1 part 1 part 1 part 1 part. you can also use less green or less brown to get different effects.
