Impressive work !

Out of personnal experience, I think it'll be much easyer to work with Milliput (the Yellow / grey one, the package with the red writing) for all the armour work, easyer to file and t work with sandpaper than GS. It would give you sharper edges (thinking about the shoulderpads especially).

Congrats for the tough job ! I would not have the patience ann even less the talent.

Responses:

Dark Sensei - I have two boxes of the stuff, I find it too sticky and fiddly to manipulate so only use it very rarely if at all... but to each their own...

Twin .44 - Could it really lift a normal sized space marine?? that is the question... :(

Laterz all...

Did you try watering it a bit ? may sound like a weirdo's question but I know some GS practitionner that didn't even think that was possible when trying Y/G for the first time.

From Allan C, hmmm have to think about mailing that one to see what's next 8)

Y/G makes smooth surfaces and sharp angles and that's a must for armour.
