BrianBlessed Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 How do you prepare them to be put on the model, any pics of a figure for us? Great detail on those casts, how do you carve out the hollows for the arms though is what I want to know basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munky79 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 i would just like to add on behalf of the moderati that i am in no way endorsing the copying of Gamesworkshop figures, the reason being that the staff at Gw have invested a lot of time and effort into making the models we enjoy. this topic was mearly a showcase of what can be done with supersculpey and greenstuff, i would appreciate if members could stick to posting about the process rather than what can be theoretically moulded from it. many many thanks everyone Munky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13skullz Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 oh... duh... sorry. <_< i guess i didint think about that!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioannou Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 very nifty process, it will be quite useful to do something like this on converted weapons and such so you can make uniform armies that are still unique. though would it be ebtter to use a resin or plaster of paris, rather than green stuff as it would be more cost effective?

13skullz Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 plaster of paris sucks ++}DELETED BY THE =][=NQUISITION{++ its far too brittle, and is terrible for detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioannou Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 i recenlty did this for my night lords. making moulds for shoulder pads wing details and forge world doors, and chapter icons. it is great.it does also mean you can release the green from the mould whislt still setting and make terminator shoulders which look great!

Nikolakhs Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 So, quick question, I have this stuff, but didn't realize it could be used so well to make spare parts for those hard to get bitz. So you put the part you want in there after applying a lubricant so it doesn't stick, but do you bake the part along with the super sculpey, or do you remove it after a couple of hours and then bake the sculpey? And also, when you've made the mold, do you let the Green Stuff harden inside the mold as it sets, or do you take it out after an hour or so so that it doesn't stick in there? Thanks a bunch --Nikolakhs-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adolpheal Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Remove the part before baking at the designated temp 275F (off the top of my head), you can let the sculpy set up by letting it sit for a while prior to pulling your "male" pattern. (Haven't tried the following yet bit will give it a shot - put both parts in at a low temp to speed up the process, or on top of computer case). GS needs to set for a bit prior to removing (this depends on how you mixed your GS as well how intricate your parts are). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
