liquid green stuff, effective or waste?

[orkblasta]

ok so this might be old news but what the heck.

So i was looking at liquid green stuff and was a bit conflicted.

the idea seems good, I deffs like the concept but is it worth it? so my real question to the hive is, is liquid green stuff worth the purchase? Is it an effective tool to have and what is it used best for?

I can read the description and get a feel for it but I kinda want opinions from people that have actually used the stuff.

so hive, what are your opinions?

cheers.

I would just get it and try it, it's like 4 bucks? Not really that much of a loss if you don't like it.
Killercroc swears by it for assembling Finecast, with some superglue.

I've already made heavy use of it in several kitbashes. It fills gaps well, is fairly easily applied and dries quite solidly. Combined with regular GS it can really help to touch up those last bits of any conversion. Trust me, get yourself a bottle and you'll like it.

True this be.

Whenever I am building finecast I dont like to use just super glae, I mix things up with a bit of Liquid GS and it holds the bits in place for just long enough for the super glue to dry. Also it creates a solid seal if the two surfaces are not quite lining up. As well I use it to fill in the gaps and bubbles, but of course that can be done with normal greenstuff.

But really even if you hate it, you are only out $4 so nothing major at all.

ok cool, i was wondering.

looks like i'll be picking up a bottle of the stuff.

cheers.

I've read that there are some alternatives and that you can make you own liquid green stuff by mixing the modelling putty with some additive(s). That said in reading about it and especially for filling in tiny resin bubbles or joint cracks has made me recently put a bottle on order from GW.

Hope its as good as I think it is as I can really seeing it helping to fill in those tiny details where proper GS can be a bit more tricky to work in without taking an age and a day to get right.

It really is a phenomenal gap filler. I especially like it since I have a terrible time mixing greenstuff in small amounts so I tend to put off my small projects until I am doing something big. The liquid greenstuff has given me the chance to do little modelling projects when I don't feel like/dont have time to bust out a whole wad of greenstuff and really do some sculpting.
