Milliput?

Postby Dan on Mon Nov 19, 2007 1:41 am

The difference in colours? What ones suit what job? Yellow/grey seems to be the cheapest - so Im assuming it would be the least effective for sculpting, but I may be wrong? Any help?

well basically the yellow grey stuff is awsome. great for big surfaces and bases of a sculpt, then doing the detail in white milliput or green stuff.

Milliput comes is various colours for no other reason other than that is the colour they dry! i.e. the fact that one is more or less expensive is only down to how hard it was to colour the stuff!!! I use the grey/yellowy stuff but nmilliput is very brittle in comparison to green stuff (so dont expect the same results) it is a great base material and easy to smooth out...

Milliput comes in different colours to denote the 'hardness', and therefore the difficulty to mix it.

The white is the softest to mix and is used for mendin porcelain. Never used it myself.

The yellow/grey version is the 'all rounder' one and is probably the best.

I have used the brown version, and it is harder to mix, but good for larger projects like terrain, and using it on bases. I have also used it around wire armatures, and then when set used greenstuff for the detail, on top, on larger figures. Milliput's advantage is cost.

I think there's another variety but haven't used that either.

There is a harder version of greenstuff.............not surprisingly called brownstuff. But like greenstuff it is also expensive.
