Really good work. can you tell us a bit about your techniques and tools you use.
Thanks!
First I should say that I have been sculpting for over twenty years in all kinds of genre but that this is the first time that I have delved into mini sculpting and also the first time I have ever used green stuff as a sculpting medium, my web site address is
www.sculptorforhire.com . That being said, for tools I'm using primarily dental tools as with most of my sculpts but I did fashion some smaller tools using fish hooks and needles embedded in small wooden dowels. I'm new to green stuff so I'm definitely not an expert as you can see by the work but I find that I like it, but its will take some getting used to. For the most part, you have to work in sections due to the curing process of green stuff and you have to keep your tool wet with water all the time, I have been told though that you may also use Vaseline to prevent sticking but I'm not ready to try that. I did start these pieces with a magic sculpt base and a wire armature beneath, I made the wire frame and then used magic sculpt to stiffen it up so that it would stay in place and then I just started putting on the green stuff. Sculpting is a lot of fun and minis are really fun to make, I just need to acclimate to the scale.
Thanks for looking!
