Massive Voodoo, there's a name I haven't heard in a while. There are some very impressive photos there, and I agree with a lot of what you say: there's no one way to do things, and study & reference matter more than what exact medium you use. But to be frank, if it's a starting point for...

The only other silicon brushes I've bought were from Lidl and they 'feel' a bit more floppy and cheap. I'd agree with sticking to Royal Sovereign. I mostly use a grey cup for smoothing, but I'll point out that Royal Sovereign also make double-ended black chisel and taper shapers with...

I have to echo that. I like the sculpting overall but I'm especially impressed by the wigs.

I usually do the same as Valiant. I've also taken to scratching grooves in the hardened surface to give the putty something extra to grip to, especially for small details.

Excellent! I akways like to see diorama photos too.

I would say that's your problem, right there! I may have missed some clever technique, but water's generally a lubricant to stop the putty sticking to things, tools, fingers etc.

Brilliant! Reminds me of a TS Sullivant drawing.

Very impressed by all the fine modelling and painting. I especially like the kettle drums.

The boy is excellent, of course, but I really like that camel! Just my own personal biases. Do you mind if I ask how the hair texture was done?

Stunning work.

Nice progress! On the 'evil grin': my take would be that a genuine or spontaneous smile affects more of the face than just the mouth, particularly around the eyes. It's part of the reason why japanese/anime-style smileys are readable when the 'mouth' is just a flat line ( ^_^ 0_0 -_- >_>...

Get it smooth before drying, or use something else! ;) The rubbery texture of cured greenstuff isn't fantastic for sanding or scraping. Mixing in a little milliput helps in that regard, but if you've had problems with that, the finer texture of magic sculp or apoxie sculpt might be better. And...

Very good! :D I have a special interest in animal art and sculpting, and it's always good to see it done as well as this.

Very nice work! I think you've improved a great deal, since the last time I was on this forum. I've tried beesputty myself, but I found even the firm type to be too soft for my liking. Maybe because I used it for 28mm/1:56 sculpts! But if you like polymer clay that's easier to mix and stickier...

Very nice!
