Creating Green stuff Tools

Following some kind advice from sculpting legend Aly Morrison, I bought some brass rod off eBay and attempted to create some putty tools of my own.

I think the brass rod was a little too thick as I had real trouble bending it into shapes. I bought a few but could only really work one of them. I managed to bend/ flatten it into a shape for creating armour scales.

I was pleasantly surprised at the effect though and it definitely looked different from my other mark making techniques. So these new warriors got some snazzy neck armour that should look good painted bronze.

The start of something new. I may have to investigate a little more into the thickness of the rods.

I’ve also tried some new Goblin heads in order to find a cheaper option rather than old GW from eBay. This feathered head adds a little something different to the mix. I bought a sprue of Forest Goblins to try out. They have nice big ears like the old GW heads and some nice weapons too.

I’ve started to create larger eyes now after the good results after painting. These are truly things of the deep ocean.

I swoped this snake man pole arm out for a crude Forest Goblin blade, this should look good painted as jade. A look I have seen Kevin Dillamore do and always wanted to try.

 New neck plates, I can use this for my orcs too. I might need to refine it before the Elven smiths will accept me.

At the last minute I thought I’d try something a bit different and gave this guy some back quills. I thought it kind of goes with his head dress.

I thought the striking colours of the Lion fish would leave you in no doubt that the spines were poisonous. Also his headdress can be painted like this too.

These spines are the off cuts of Dwarf bows when I was creating more shield arms for my orcs. The out stretched arms  are great for shields once the bow is cut off. It also solves the problem of a shortage of left hand arms nicely.
