Juan Hidalgo lessons are by far the best among miniature modelling and painting You tube channels.

Thanks!

I never knew the trick about storing excess green stuff in the freezer. Thanks for a great trip alongside a great tutorial! -John

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

It won't hold forever but I've had putty stored like that for a week and it was still workable.

[@PointyPaints]

Perfect time for a brew, sit back and watch the master at work.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate 😘

[@ScionoftheDreadwing]

This is honestly the best greenstuff tutorial I have seen

Thanks!

Thanks

Hope you had some happy holidays and a good new years so far Juan! As a Dark Angels player this tutorial is a godsend. I really need to take a crack at sculpting and making my marines a little more Dark Angel looking.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks, it was ok, and that's enough 😂 with two kids you have to lower your standards

[@HollywoodColt]

I did not know about the freezer thing! Thanks for the tip!!!

Thank you for this tutorial Juan. You make the process seem a lot less scary.

Happy to help 😘

Oh yes, Juan making a sculpting video! This is what I call Friday evening entertainment. Thank you for the guide. He turned out great!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate 😘

[@HungLikeScrat]

You are the man! I recently took up the hobby of collecting Nendoroid figures from the Inuyasha Manga/Anime. The only problem: they didn't make some of the better characters. I decided I wanted to make those missing characters myself. The only problem: I don't know the first thing about sculpting onto or painting these little figures. I can't find but a few tutorials for modifying Nendoroid figures, and they're not the best videos, so I just did a general search for epoxy sculpting figures and found this video. The few actual Nendoroid videos I did find said to use epoxy sculpt, so that's what I bought. I know it's similar to the green stuff, so your tutorials should be quite useful. I'll be modifying other existing figures to make the missing figures from the series. I learned so much just from watching this video. I'm hoping you have other videos that relate to what I'm planning to do.

[@mountainguy-jx7yv]

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.. I'm working on a commission custom DA army and have been trying to make cloaks for some Infiltrators and some others and could not get them to look right and wasted a bunch of green stuff. This vid was exactly what I needed to show me how to get it right.

[@Lageno]

This was extremely helpful! The freezer tip was also something I never realized. Very great video.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@v02max75]

Thanks, JDM!! I built my very first model that I had to do conversions on(new termy librarian converted to Grand Master Voldus). I had to chop him in half and build up a torso, which turned out pretty nicely, for my first time. But I now need to add a tabbard and cape, so this video is perfect for what I need today!

[@Retrosicotte]

And here I was building the courage to try a Tanith cloak this year for that army your Mkoll tutorial helped with. I'm sure this will come in handy, but going to try on an old Catachan before I dare touch my prized kitbasked Kolea model!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Nice idea!

[@smc5666]

Out of all the KZbinrs to make this I'm so glad it was you 🇪🇸❤️🇺🇲 master expert and no that's not redundant 🤯

[@ZX-ou5op]

Huge thanks for this, Juan! I'm pretty new to working with green stuff and didn't even consider shaving and sanding the outside post-cure, rather than pulling my hair out while trying to get the exact shape I wanted when it was still soft and wondering why it looked like ass 🤣

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yeah, it's a big step forward. It's always good to get as close as possible fresh but sometimes it's better to stop and refine later

[@Hawko1313]

thankyou so much, i have tried doing cloth multiple times and even a few minutes in im getting so much good information. my greenstuff was so soft that as i let it dry it adhered flat to the model rather than maintaining it's own shape.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help!!

[@NickMK]

All of us painters that are absolutely terrible at sculpting thank you for your service. If I could humbly request you do one on HAIR some day? My sisters of battle have told me that they are tired of the bowl cuts and want to feel a bit more stylish. Love ya.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I actually have one, go and look at THE FIRST VIDEO on the channel 😂

I definitely need this tutorial now more than ever.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Well, it's here for you

[@MrJHDK]

Saw a great video the other day where a talented sculptor used a 50:50 mix of milliput and green stuff. Made blending lines and carving so much easier and more accurate. Worth checking out

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Already know that, it's a very useful mix but I prefer pure GS for cloth.

[@SpontaneousSquiggle]

I tend to really struggle getting greenstuff to blend nicely together. Great video to watch after my latest attempt! XD

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Metal tools, well lubricated and use pressure and smooth movements

[@pauloviegas9918]

Thank you. Inspirational video and, I'm starting to understand your sense of humor 😀.

Just bought milliput, mainly due to wanting to copy a bit from the titanicus box set that will mean I can use 2 of the alternative masks, using a blue stuff mold. But as thats all I need it for, I am now wondering what else I can do with miliput and green stuff. This vid gives a very good indicator.

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I sculpted with it yesterday for the first time. I was pretty prepared but not fully. It turned out pretty good though. I am super worried about how paint will take to it. I'm afraid I have to sand off the details of my sculpt or paint will simply bead off it.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

You should prime over it, as with other plastics. That's the recommendation. As with naked plastic, it can be painted without primer but it might take a bit for paint to catch. That being said I've done it before and it's not as bad as naked normal plastic or resin

[@The_Bat]

Brilliant Tutorial Juan! Did you have a good Christmas and New Year?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

It was alright, and that's as much as you can ask for with two kids

Con MUCHO cuidado

[@joshuaburchett2938]

Are the shaping tools you used in the video description? I am about to sculpt a kama for a clone trooper (Star Wars: Legion) and I don't have any shaping tools like you used. Would I be able to pick some up at a local arts & crafts store?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

You should be able to get them in a local art store yes. Just ask for Clay shapers or Colour shapers, I recommend you get the grey or black tips only, the darker the colour the firmer the tip is

[@SamuelRamirez-yo7je]

That mini have dark angel vibes

[@PureMetalDragon]

Can I ask where you got your green stuff in two little pots like this? Also, thanks for the freezer trick. Before, I used my excess greenstuff to make tactical rocks for basing

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I didn't, I get it in rods, separated yellow and blue and I put it in those pots myself. Also, very important to understand all GS is the same, it's all made by the same company Sylmasta and it's called Knedatite Yellow-Blue

[@akumaking1]

Can you show his up sculpt different styles of facial hair? (For Space Wolves and Leagues of Votann)

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Maybe, thanks for the suggestion

[@LoneWolf40kPainting]

LOVE It! Thanks a lot! What do you use to dampen the tools? Water?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yeah, just water for the most part, sometimes I use my saliva though, it works extremely well and it's super quick

[@leanderschuster3196]

Do you have a trick for adding more greenstuff? Whenever I try to add more it ends with a clearly visible line between the old and the newly added GS

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Well, first let the GS to fully cure, then use metal tools and press hard in the joint moving the tool towards the new puttty. It's all about practice

[@cuatrocientoscinco]

genial la verdad.. ojalá podamos ver la miniatura pintada :D

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]
