Cheers Pierced53, I'm glad you like them

As for the other question, on what tools I use for greenstuff-sculpting, it's really nothing fancy.
The tool I use the most is, by far, the GW sculpt-tool, I find it very convenient and it's a good multi-purpouse tool. Next in line is my scalpel, a metalhandle with exchangable blades. If you buy a too cheap scalpel you might get one where the "blade-gripping-thingie" (a screwable contraption) is made of plastic - avoid that as they generally don't hold the blade as good as the slightly more expensive metal ones.
I ust the scalpel for fine details such as the runes and the hairs/beard/fur.
I also use it to cut clean corners and edges once the greenstuff has cured (for like 24 hours). GS tends to expand a little while curing and especially if you make thick things you'll end up with bulgy and rounded edges, that's really not funny:/

Then finally I have a needle for even tinier details and a...crochet hook (is that the right word? it's a tool for..well not sewing but making things of strings...think old lady.) . A fine one to make nice round holes and some other details, it's good for reaching into them difficult places.

Oh, and also I use a bucketload of patience

Hope to finish the fourth LongFAng tonight and get pics up of him too. Then it's just the packleader left, but I got him planned already.


Cheers.
