Hi Marco, Kevin is correct in that we recommend on our label to keep the temperature in the oven under 95F (35C). As a side note for those who may be...
Hi all, My first attempts at sculpting miniatures have been put on a web page by my friend Xavier of Negromundheim fame. You can check my first completed (or...
Not a bad start, although it looks like you rely on the ebob armeture a lot, just covering it more or less in alayer of green. Next time I would look to get...

I'm having difficulty creating armatures for my miniatures. I was wondering how necessary they are for sculpting figures. I understand their obvious benefits...
I can't imagine you even being able to sculpt a 30mm figure without an armiture. I would say they are vital to give you some resistance to press against to...
I'm having difficulty making nice weapons. I've never made a weapon with a really interesting design and I just can't fathom how you go about making them out...
... Grr, I had a long reply written out and I hit back on my mouse and lost it... oh well. I will synopsize it: Work from scratch. Make your own armatures....

THe link for the SHae doesnt work but if I remember it didn't look hard at all. Place a straight rod between forefinger and thumb on each hand so that your...
I've had some great success with weapons recently, so I'll post that and see if you like it. I mixed brown stuff and rolled it out and flattened it between two...
Hi all, I am *trying* to sculpt some 10mm Napoleonics, but have no idea what to use as an armature. I tried wire, but it is too fidley for me at that size. Any...
I haven't used a wire before, but in hindsight, that's a fantastic idea. I notice in this tutorial he just globs the putty on and presumably files it down...
Hey Norris, I haven't tried that scale but i think you'd have to try a wire armiture anyway. Not the same type for larger models though. If the figures wont...
There is some very thin wire. The same tibe that is found twisted together inside electrical cables. That's what I've used. Works fine. ... From: John Eppes ...
What is the largest "SAFE" scuplt I should do using green stuff? I was thinking around 54-80mm but not sure what the limit before I need to consider MS. I...
The current clay I'm using doesn't seem to work well with miniatures. I'm thinking about a clay, putty, epoxy, etc. that I could buy to replace it. But I'm not...
Armatures shouldn't give you trouble. All you're really doing is creating a stick man. The copper may be the problem. I find it too soft for my liking. I go...
I don't think GS works real well over 54mm. With larger surfaces, the limited working time really becomes a liability. On the other hand, I've seen 1/6 busts...
When I've done 15mm figs, I've used 24 guage wire. Brass is probably your best bet for strength at that thinness. Other than carefully using pliars and...
Crayola model magic will not work at all. I've used it with my kids several times. I haven't tried to sculpt minis with it, but I seriously doubt you'd be...
... the limited working time ... done using materials very ... anything bigger than 54. Had a bad feeling about that. GS would start to get expensive at that ...
When you say your not sure your ready for green stuff, dose that mean that you have used green stuff in the past? or that you are uncertain of how to use green...
Try pro create. it's an epoxy putty - just like green stuff - but much easier for the beginning user. I'm still not sure if it's better than green stuff after...
If i were you, i would grab some florists wire from a local store... i find that the textured surface makes the greenstuf stick to it much better than steel or...
Hi, over here in the scale modelling store is also very stiff steel wire of 0.3 and 0.5 mm. I sometimes use this for asrmature too. These are very tough (I't...
