Daemonhost Greenstuff step-by-step (part 3)

I toyed with several subtitles for this post, "A brown moment", "teeth and chains" and whatnot, but as it IS progress I settled on "part 3", not as exciting I know, but not misleading either.

So here we are, another update tonight, as promised. This is my first time working with brownstuff, but dont let that put you off, what I'm showing here I've done many times with Greenstuff, the change to brown Is for my own experimentation and I'll let you know how I feel about it once it's cured :)

So, first things first, I'm going to make some teeth and set them aside to cure for later.

This couldnt be easier, all you need to do is make a fine, sharp point just like the end of a sausage-

Then snip it off with a lubed scalpel.

Here's a collection set aside to cure, some have had a slight bend added, others are straight. and yes, that is a CD, I use failed-to-burn disks as everything from pallettes to bases for craters :)

Next job is a tad more complex, still here? good. :) Lets talk about chains....

still here? :)

First thing we need is a - yeah you guessed it, sausage of stuff.

Which I proceed to flatten gently with one of the sculpting tools I use.

I make sure to square it up from time to time to keep the now squarish section. youll get used to doing this often as you make these chains.

Next I "nibble" a series of impressions along the length, both sides, with a single press of my tool.

Repeating this along both sides, trying to keep the spacing even.

Eventually we arrive here. at this stage I bore a small hole in the middle of each link, shoring up the sides as I go if neccecary.


Giving us this.


Then I take another slightly thinner sausage of stuff.



And lay it on top.

Then Proceed to press down in each of my already made depressions.

The end result is this:

Which gets a final flattening of the top links, before being called ready.

Once the chain is complete it can be applied to the model, securing it at suitable points.

I then go on to make a few more chains of various sizes and raid the bits box for something suitably chaosy to add something to the model.

So that's where he's at now. Thanks for staying with these those of you who are still here, tomorrow I hope to add a few mouths to some of his body parts, :)
