Patrick Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 We added a new overview of using Kneadatite Green and Brown putty to the Tips section of our site. Probably not a lot of useful info here for seasoned veteran sculptors but check out all the really cool close up photos of my big thumbs!

green stuff Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 A very useful article for beginers. You might want to add rubber-shapers to the list of tools. I tend to find them extremely helpful in the finishing steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Thanks GS! I don't have any shapers yet but have heard they are good for doing all sorts of stuff like folds in cloaks and other things. I will add extra sections to update that as I go.

green stuff Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 @Patrick : I've got 2 of them, a wedge and a cone. If you need pics to illustrate your article but don't plan on buying a shaper in the near futur, I'll be happy to send you one of those I have. I use them for anything (cloaks, faces, weapons, armor, ...) except fur. They tend to give a better finish to GS (you know how GS tends to have that puffy look if you don't work on it till the very end ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritual Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Well... I haven't really use mine for anything but filling gaps, but it helps making the putty smooth and also if I need to resculpt some texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 yeah, I've been using a toothpick...that's a pain in the ass...since they're not smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
