Last time I played D&D, my Dragonborn sorcerers got killed. By willow-wisps, no less.
Thankfully, I was plotting another character. I ordered a new mini from HeroForge, and now I’m modifying it.
Added potions and extra coattails. More to come. Yes, I’m working on something in the background. More to come!

@KARiley40 Good job with the greenstuff there!
@ekaitz_zarraga Thanks! I’m slowly improving.
@KARiley40 If I can help you or something ask.
I'm a miniature sculptor and I needed some time to get used to the greenstuff and start enjoying it.
@ekaitz_zarraga Got any tips for it not squishing down when you go to add details?
I don’t like waiting hours for it to get kinda hard so I can add details.
@KARiley40 You can make it in different steps. Make something, wait until it's hard and work on top of it.
Also, you can change the mixture of the putty. If you use more green part it's softer and if you use more blue part it's harder. Be careful with that because one of the colors is the hardener and changing the composition also changes the cure time.
@KARiley40 The temperature also changes the hardness a lot. When it's hot, the putty is very gummy and soft (and very sticky). You can wait a little until the putty is colder and it will be a little bit harder.
But what I recommend is to separate the job in different steps.
@KARiley40 I tell you all the different things to let you make some tests and use what you prefer. In real life I use all of them together.
@ekaitz_zarraga Thanks! Yeah, that’s basically what I do, but the waiting, ugh! This is why I like working in watercolor and not oil paints too!
Other problem is I work on this at night and then go to bed. So I wake up and it’s way past the perfect time.
@KARiley40 It is what it is... Greenstuff is hard to use until you learn how.
If you have experience with it you can put putty on top of fresh putty without waiting but it's not easy for newbies.
Give it a try. If you learn how to do it you'll be the master of the greenstuff. :)
@KARiley40 Great!
Take some pictures when you are done and ping me when you upload them!
@ekaitz_zarraga I will, thanks again. This little dragon is close to being done so I’ll post him up eventually and then we can judge how good I’ve gotten 😆.
