I also put this on the general board.

How do I make/convert a venomthrope/ zoanthrope lower body?

[gigasnail]

Acquire greenstuff/apoxiesculpt/kneadite. Mix according to directions. Roll out a tentacle, let it cure. Drill and pin it for a secure mount, and attach it to the upper torso with superglue.

There are about a bajillion tutorials on basic GS sculpting, check some out on youtube.

Can't buy tools online. Don't want to buy GW tools for $26. Do you think hobby lobby sells them?

[gigasnail]

You don't need GW tools. Any sculpting tools will do. Watch some tutorial bids and it will really help. You can probably buy most of what you need at hobby lobby.

Also, don't buy GW greenstuff. Buy it direct at about a third of the price. Look for Kneadite Epoxy puty.

After you work with it some, get some apoxiesculpt and then you can start working at a 1:1 kneadite/apoxiesculpt mix and it'll make your projects a lot easier.

Remember to keep your tools and hands lubed either with water, silicone lube, or the non scented Nineva cream.

Watch the vids!!

No stores around me (not even hobby lobby) have green stuff. So I'm forced to buy it from GW...

[mansur123]

Also what is milliput?

[Kwodd]

Order ravener tails off ebay.

[gigasnail]

don't buy that (please do not swear) from GW, it's stupidly marked up. you have internet access, or you're a wizard. order Kneadite direct from anywhere other than GW.

milliput is another kind of epoxy putty; has several grades.

What should I search up to find modelling tools?

[mansur123]

What is quick mold? Should I use it? Also can I use milliput instead of greenstuff because it is easily available.

[gigasnail]

try searching "sculpting tools"

quick mold is for making molds for casting simple shapes, it's not really what you want here.

miliput is different than GS. it has different properties. you can use it for w/e.

[mansur123]

W/E? Also should I just get these?

Are these tools good?

Also I can't buy online because I'm not an adult yet and my parents won't buy stuff for me online.

[gigasnail]

w/e = whatever

you could probably use that ravenor lower body to convert up a venomthrope, sure. but if you can't buy things online yourself, that's probably not going to work for you.

those tools are ok; they'll probably work fine. keep them clean and lubricated, same goes for your hands (it's best to wear latex gloves, and lube them too).

So should I go for miliput or hw green stuff?
