Green stuff Tutorial #1 Capes

[@jamesford7937]

Just started painting again after 10 years. Really wanted to make some capes but I have no experience really with greenstuff. This was an amazing video and helped me make some capes for some tau pathfinders. Thank you so much. Really easy, great tutorial, and looks great. Thank you!

I've bought Green Stuff (from Kneaditite, I believe) packaged as the side-by side strips, and it was actually fine. No material had cured, no hard pieces inside. The reaction may require air, and it's got a layer of plastic that keeps the area where the strips touch out of the air.

I buy it normally from Kneaditite, too. It doesn't need air. Reaction starts if you put them together. Air is not needed!. He is right in the video about how it works. But in most cases you will not even see the small amounts which are already cured. I see them normally if I do very thin stuff like rolls around wire with a roll maker. If you see them, they are normally little brighter as the other mixed green stuff. If you see it depends also on the ratio you used. In 90 % of using GS I didn't saw these cured parts or they were not important. That is also a reason why Kneaditite doesn't care to put the together like this. But they sell them also parted.

Exactly. I've used different brands for years and all of it was the side-by-side strips. Never once had an issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@APOLOnl]

People that the deny the existance of this problem obviously never used the seperately packed putties 🤣 or used all there greenstuff within 3-6 months.

Vaseline works to for not sticking and no fingerprints

Good tutorial thanks. Might be a bit beyond my skill level though but I'll have a go. As for the thing about flat roll green stuff, I found with the gw stuff i got from a store that had had it a long time in a drawer, I got the lumps of half cured bits too. It didn't happen with this cheap unbranded though, maybe it just hasnt had long enough to do so. Still annoys me though, sticks to the plastic though, one benefit i found though the ratio the strip comes in good, but it gets bent out of shape and soon cutting two parallel pieces in that ratio requires a zigzag cut from the scalpal lol. I don't mind that it seems to cost more in the seperate packs though asa i t removes the faff.

would this same technique work on an Egyptian style kilt?

[@marrokwolf1600]

I would think so, it's basically the same thing it's just folded different

[@LandofMert76]

+Marrok Wolf OK thanks

[@carthagemustbedestroyed]

Thanks for the video. Always fun to see people play with the greeeen

[@rabbadidi7385]

Can you stick green stuff to already painted figures?

[@marrokwolf1600]

you can

[@rabbadidi7385]

@@marrokwolf1600 thanks :)

[@DummyUrD]

How do you paint the miniature underneath the cape now ? :o

[@jonatanhagglund7493]

Great instructions, a little bad lighting though and a finished painted model would've been really nice :)

[@ThePeacemaker848]

How come you don't make the cape rectangle and then sculpt it?

[@marrokwolf1600]

That is another way of doing it, but I find it easier to get a free flowing cape this way

[@ThePeacemaker848]

Marrok Wolf which way is better?

[@marrokwolf1600]

+ThePeacemaker848 it depends on what your looking for, if it's just a mini standing there stationary I would say the rectangle, and if your trying for more motion the free flow method is better. Practice and find out which way you like to do it best and roll with that

[@ThePeacemaker848]

Marrok Wolf thanks.

Regarding the green stuff in "Tape" format, I think the waste is minimal. Plus, some people will opt for convenience over waste. Plus, have you ever noticed how much blue and yellow are wasted because they are fused on the ends of those aluminum foil ends in the tube version? Green stuff is very sticky/stretchy and sometimes getting amounts out of the tube is a pain. The tape can simply be sliced. I'm just playing devils advocate as I use the tube version myself but I don't see a big problem with those that choose to use the tape format.

Mine hasn't done it and I brought it two months ago
