Hey all!

I'm new to message boards and was looking for some good tutorials for an absolute beginner in sculpting with green stuff.

Can anyone offer some suggests.

Start with simple stuff like basing. Some people use spit some use Vaseline to stop your tool sticking to the green stuff. I personally mix my green stuff in warm running water under a tap, stops it sticking to my fingers and the warm makes it more plyable they use vaseline. The key with green stuff is start with a small amount. Doing bases like grass etc is nice and simple and helps you get used to the feel of it.

Right now I can't find any links to sculpting, hope this helps though :)

the craft page under resources has some good stuff.

Miniature Mentor has some good tutorials which are worth the money.

Yahoogroups has 1list-sculpting. It might have tutorials, it certainly has years worth of accumulated info, photos, and so on.

I've just started sculpting, but I collected a bunch of links I found useful; they are included below. Some of the tutorials aren't about Green Stuff specifically, many of them suggest starting with Super Sculpey and that's what I've been doing so far. It's supposed to be easier than Green Stuff for beginners. I suggest starting from the top of the list and working down.
