Green Stuff
THE SECRETS OF SCULPTING

Epoxy putty, affectionately known as Green Stuff, is the material of choice for many veteran hobbyists. Ty Finocchiaro shows you the basics of working with Green Stuff, from tools to techniques, and he gives you a few examples to get you started.

The mysteries of Green Stuff

Epoxy Putty, "Green Stuff," gap filler – all these names refer to the same thing. Whatever you want to call it, this substance is an essential part of the hobby. From filling gaps to sculpting completely new arms, putty has a myriad of uses. However, to a majority of the folks out there (we get a lot of questions about it in the Web Team inbox), epoxy putty is a big mystery. This confusion is certainly understandable!

I know when I first started working with Green Stuff, I had a ton of questions. I also made a pile of mistakes and several really bad conversions. Since then, I've picked up a few things here and there that everyone might benefit from. I'm no professional sculptor, but these tips are definitely things I would have liked to have known before I started out. In order to help all of you fledgling sculptors, I've compiled a list of essential putty techniques below. Once you've absorbed these fundamental basics, move on and check out the simple sculpting projects. Before you know it, you'll be building and modifying models like a veteran.
