I myself use green stuff with an equal amount of yellow-grey milliput as a kind of "softener," and it blends with surfaces much more easily.<br />Also, invest in some salon boards if you haven't already. They're basically very fine-grit sandpaper, and can be cut to any size or length. Wetting your model with water also can reduce the number of scratches left by filing and sanding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634605429843463825.post-25356141462087646802014-02-10T08:51:17.510+01:002014-02-10T08:51:17.510+01:00Glad you like him, Sir!

I am really liking how this true-scale marine is turning out. The Grey Knight terminator body works really well. <br /><br />Greenstuff work can be really frustrating. The easiest way to achieve smooth transitions and surfaces using greenstuff is through the use of Royal Sovereign Ltd Colour/Clay shapers. They work wonders and have exponentially improved my greenstuffing abilities. Here is a link to where I learned about them (thanks Lamenter!):<br />http://masteroftheforge.com/tutorial-artscale-space-marine-v2/<br /><br />I also have something written about using them as well on my blog:<br />http://betweenthebolterandme.blogspot.com/2013/04/tools-of-trade-essential-modeling.html<br />Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634605429843463825.post-79826124325668981682014-02-10T01:36:28.226+01:002014-02-10T01:36:28.226+01:00I picked up some rubber tipped clay shapers really...I picked up some rubber tipped clay shapers really good for the smooth finish.
