How to Make Green Stuff Beards + Hair | Quick and Easy!

In this video I show you how I go about using Green Stuff to sculpt beards and hair onto my Space Marines, but of course any model head will do.

The hobby requires videos like this, if one only watches "masters" work it can become daunting to start oneself.

[@JamsMiniMods]

Yeah, I try to keep things as simple and realistic to achieve as possible.

[@teggy1734]

Fun fact, he's exactly working on the head I want to custom. I tried to add a mustache and beret to my sarge

[@JamsMiniMods]

Haha nice, I've never done a beret before. 🤔

[@Writh811]

Thanks for the video. I've been kit bashing my Primaris Space Wolves for a little bit and am starting to learn these greenstuff techniques. I am really starting to enjoy how much of a blank canvas Primaris models are.

[@JamsMiniMods]

Yeah I actually love the blandness of Primaris sometimes.. That's why I'm doing all my kitbash videos. It's a lot of fun. Feel free to share your work on my Discord, would be good to see!

[@power_SERG]

Currently trying to figure out which head to use for my army, this is definitely perfect timing!

[@JamsMiniMods]

Yeah it's a cool one!

[@Sir_Gonzo]

Looks bloody awesome. Gonna try beards tomorrow. Inspiring stuff.

[@JamsMiniMods]

That's great to hear.. It's super easy once you get the hang of it. Thank you. 🤘

[@lordflick895]

Going to attempt a brush cut. The question of how to do sunglasses is going to be the really tricky part.

[@JamsMiniMods]

I've never done sunglasses, but I'd imagine if you use the flat side of your knife to push in the edges and flatten the front it should help shape it up. If that even makes sense haha

[@lordflick895]

@@JamsMiniMods it's probably just going to take a few tries and tears.

AN ABE LINCOLN BEARD!? Brother now I need to make a Space Marine with an Abe beard and a big ass top hat.

[@JamsMiniMods]

Do it!!!.. Call them the Dapper Marines 😅

Awesome work. Thanks for the great tutorial

Nice work mate, thanks

[@JamsMiniMods]

No problem and thank you sir!

Great job 👍

[@JamsMiniMods]

Thank you!

[@mikesminis]

Getting my einhyr champion soon and he needs a majestic beard, I'm definitely following your steps, thank you!!!

[@JamsMiniMods]

Hope it can help out!

[@Joe_the_ogre]

Awesome! Going to try this on my ogryns

[@JamsMiniMods]

That would be cool to see!

[@glennrobbins2372]

That is great. I am currently working on 4 1/35 scale figures and recreating a photo of my father from WW2. I have the figures for my father, he wears a cap in the photo, the other person has no hat or helmet so I need to sculpt the rest of his head. I've used Tamiya modeling putty and small files to get the shape. Next will be to sculpt the hair.

[@JamsMiniMods]

Thanks Glenn.. And that sounds like an awesome project. You'll have to share it with me once you're done!

[@mikemartin3671]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. The sons of Russ need some new windswept epicness!

[@JamsMiniMods]

Anything to bring long, luscious locks to the Wolves 🤘😅

[@1212DireWolf]

Thanks for this, I used this method for the first time experimenting with my space wolf army, gave the gunner on top of rhino/razorback a windswept look

[@JamsMiniMods]

Glad it helped.. You'll have to share your work! 🤘

Great video, and very informative. It's earned you a sub. Would you please link the other content creator you mentioned? Readycraft/redicraft?

[@JamsMiniMods]

Thanks man.. I just updated my description with his link. Thought it was in there this whole time. Also check out a channel called Valbjorn for more epic green stuff work.

[@Annoyachu]

Hmmmm hadn't thought about hair for my inquisitors kit bash..... might need to make this happen!

[@JamsMiniMods]

That would be cool to see! 🤘

[@Annoyachu]

@@JamsMiniMods still accumulating bits, but I'll be sure to tag you in it when it's done.

[@JamsMiniMods]

@@Annoyachu looking forward to it!

[@hilmanic28]

How do you harden the greenstuff after adjusting it to my liking?

[@JamsMiniMods]

Best way is to just leave it overnight, it'll harden on its own

[@woahhbro2906]

How long does it take green stuff to harden and dry?

[@JamsMiniMods]

It starts setting after a few hours but I generally leave it over night before I touch it at all

[@adamholt5395]

Do you have a way to do afros?

[@JamsMiniMods]

I haven't really tried it to be honest.. But I don't think it would be too hard

[@adamholt5395]

@@JamsMiniMods Where would I begin? Just do a bigger blob of hair and just kind of mold it around and add notches in it to give it the curls?

[@JamsMiniMods]

@@adamholt5395 probably your best bet.. Get the blob of green stuff into the rough shape using a tooth pick or something.. Then add some details on with the hobby knife or something. Just a bit of detail for you to be able to paint

[@blueshellhater1845]

I just ordered some greenstuff. I‘m trying to do a mullet for the phobos lieutenant, turn him into Solid Snake. You said to make a little sausage for hair. My marine will have much longer hair, than your Space Wolf, so do I just roll a slightly longer sausage to apply it to the head?

[@JamsMiniMods]

If you check out my latest video about kitbashing Wulfen, I think you could find it handy. Will probably answer your question. 🤟

[@blueshellhater1845]

@@JamsMiniMods Alright, I‘ll do. Appreciate it🤝

[@blueshellhater1845]

@@JamsMiniMods I think I have a better concept of it now. The hairstyle of your video is different from the one I‘ll attempt, but useful nonetheless

[@MrZombiejoe]

How Strong is this Stuff, and does it Dry Up Good Enough not to Break Easy???

[@JamsMiniMods]

Usually it's a bit rubbery when it dries.. So it will bend quite a bit before snapping. But of course, it just depends on what you're making. Also, if you put more blue into the mix it will be harder.. More yellow it will be softer.

[@MrZombiejoe]

@@JamsMiniMods Thanks!!!

[@JamsMiniMods]

0:50 what the hell is wrong with the right guy? Did he got stabbed or what?

[@JamsMiniMods]

He's just a grumpy dude 😅

[@bad-people6510]

Please stop touching that blade. Not just because it's unsafe but because it also corrodes the blade.

[@JamsMiniMods]

My blades are always covered in stuff. I tend to swap them out quite often. I should probably have two for different jobs.
