Great work!

Nice work mate!

I like all of them 

I know they have served their purpose (well done by the way) but one little niggly thing would be that the cross on top of the slate seems to be just perched there, almost like its balancing. I don't know whether a few small rocks around the base would help to nullify that 

Love the ground work as well, very realistic 

cheers

The cross on the rock bugs me aswell, but it was a trade off really.you see originally it was going to be drilled and pinned, but the milliput was in danger of splitting.instead, i glued it on top lightly so it could be easily fixed it knocked off during transport to interviews.I may build up a milliput base around it to help blend it to the rock now.


thankyou for the encouragement chaps

Just a quick word, i have just updated my facebook page,so if you want to keep track of my work you can find it here https://www.facebook.com/NicEvansArt

I also sent wargames factory the pictures and they posted them to their own page.nothing new, just fun.

how do you like working with milliput? vs. say greenstuff, pro-create, magic-sculpt, etc.

It's better to create bases with texture since it's less sticky.vs greenstuff, its easier to get sharp details, but not on a small scale. i cant compare to the others since i haven't used them.
It's useful for large bulk things, anything fine detailed i'd suggest greenstuff or super sculpey.

magic-sculpt is good for larger things. (100mm+) at that size greenstuff starts to work against you, for polymer clays I tend to like Fimo more than super sculpey for things under 100mm, but for over 10cm-30cm I find a mixture of Sculpey Firm mixed with Sculpey III works the best. Sculpey Firm by itself is a bit 'crumbly'. But Sculpey III is too soft and 'sticky' to be used alone. I often wonder what would be the results if epoxy clays were mixed. Im yet to actually try.

One day perhaps...

I see alot on frothers or other sites about creating a "nice mix" (sounds like my stoner friends ) .
I tried mixing greenstuff and milliput on these dioramas and just ended up with a half dried lump of mess after 3 days and have to crape it off and start again.

hmmm... Perhaps because theyre different types of epoxies that were not chemically compatible.

In anycase you saved me the trouble. 


(And yes I realize how that sounds.  )
