Great conversion, where did you nab the fiery sword? It came with a Star Wars figure I found on the clearance isle in Walmart last year. It was a Stormtrooper with a Flame Thrower. Had 2 different fire bursts in it, this one and one that wraps around things to make it look like they caught fire. I picked it up for those fire blasts. |

Amazing mini! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the miliput I believed you called it from?

Amazing mini! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the miliput I believed you called it from? Both Hobby Lobby and Michael's stores carry it. It is usually in the model train section. It was originally made for fixing holes in cars and boats before the company realized model and miniature sculptors found a use for it back in the 70s. Its a 2 part epoxy similar to green stuff. You have about 2 hours to work with it before it starts to fully harden. Its great stuff for sculpting small details and adheres to plastic and resin extremely well. It holds paint really well and its super strong and hard as a rock when fully dry. It also dries when wet so you can use water to smooth it out without delaying dry time. Its texture when mixed is very similar to sculpey and other modeling clays. Most stores carry 2 kinds, standard yellow/gray milliput and superfine milliput. For sculpting you want standard yellow gray milliput. Superfine is used to repair porcelain and costs 2x as much. Regular milliput runs about $7.99 in most areas. You can use the 40% off coupons of the hobby stores to get it even cheaper. Here's a link to the kind I use. www.amazon.com/Standard-Yellow-Grey-Milliput-Epoxy-Putty/dp/B001OBBTMW/ref=sr_1_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1379210299&sr=1-2&keywords=milliputAnd a link to their website www.milliput.com/about.html |

Ok sweet thanks! I actually found the marvel minis you used.(except for hulk) and wanted to try mini sculpting for myself. The spider man they have seems great to make a caster out of. And the ironman I was thinking of doing a flame elemental!

Thanks for the info about milliput. I almost spent $10 on some green stuff the other day. Excellent work. |
