GW Liquid Greenstuff

[Hammers]

Haven't seen the GW one, but there is a Valejho liquid plastic filler that works very well.

I like that one to. But do you use it for anything but styrene? How does that work?

[Ace From Outer Space]

Hi guys, i've used the Vallejo filler on lead as well as hard and soft plastic figures with no problems at all. I know two people who bought the LGS from GW and they felt it was  a pricier version of the Vallejo product. I'll stick with Vallejo...

[Silent Invader]

I have used both.

I would say that vallejo is thinner and so washes out of brushes easier.  i think that the GW is more adhesive.

Both do the job but require care in use as excess application can be awkward to remove even when still wet.

For bubble holes and wider gaps  I would be inclined to use GW and for the very narrow gap where say an arm and torso have been glued, the Vallejo.

I've used it on metal and had no complaints. It's a very decent gap filler and easy to use. Not a substitute for actual green stuff when you need to sculpt in some details, but very nice for gaps and surface smoothing.

The owner of my local wargaming shop gave me a sample to try out and I've been using it to fill the small gaps where styrene sheets meet on my latest Victorian build. Works nicely and sets suitably quickly.

A lad at the store was using the stuff to paint raised details on Hoplite shields, it looked good.

Now, THAT is interesting - a new way to create those intricate musters (filigree, runes, whatever) on various pieces of gear and terrain.

[OSHIROmodels]

Yes, it could certainly be very useful in that case

yeah, it's workable to an extent... I picked up a pot out of interest...you can draw it up a little bit, but you don't get much shape out of it as it collapses back as it's more liquid than solid... but a few lines drawn with it produced some decent raised areas...

I've bought some and tried it, and it'll have a use but I'll be sticking to mainly using liquid milliput, which I mix down with alcohol to the consistency I actually want.

Didn't know that it exists - another interesting thing! 

[6milPhil]

Oh it doesn't- I mix it myself... mix it as usual and then mix it in a cup with alcohol to whichever consistency is needed. Did try it with water for a while but it seems to mix best with alcohol, and as that evaporates it speeds up drying time.

Bought some today, I was wondering whether it would be good for rotten flesh as well as the usual gaps and fillings.

Also had a nice no pressured chat with a Blue shirt who was well...human!    Strange things are afoot.

You sure it was a GW store you went into?

I've heard they have one of those who moves from store to store endlessly. Mine was a tall chap WHO SPOKE VERY LOUDLY ALL THE TIME.
