- This is a remake of the first video every on my channel, six years ago. It shows the process of creating and using a green stuff press mould to reproduce those precious bits you wish you had more of.

Great video bruh. Down and dirty, straight to the point without wasting our time. 10/10
Thanks, much appreciated.
Greenstuff world makes a product called Bluestuff for mold making. It's amazing for replicating bits and its reusable!
EXCELLENT, simple, effective, cheap (for one piece it surely is) , what deserves to someone who wants to start. Probably I'll visit the local GW shop to buy some Green stuff
That is a great idea using the bottlecaps to keep the mould lined up flat. Well done!
Amazing, loved it and learned a bunch. I never thought to cast using green stuff and then fill it with green stuff, game changing.
You all probably dont give a damn but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Devon Arthur Instablaster =)
@Weston Turner thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Weston Turner it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
@Devon Arthur Happy to help xD
I made a bunch of molds for bases using silicone. It's super easy, too!
Just use hot glue to secure the base you want to copy inside a box made of lego and then pour in silicone. Leave it to dry and you got a perfect, reusable mould.
Thank you for the explanation on the vegetable oil. Wasted an hour trying to figure out what went wrong because another video didn't explain that part
I just used this trick to duplicate some Stargrave 's stuff, such as holsters and bags, and it worked, the only important thing is don't use excessive GS, otherwise the details could be lost.
Thanks for the tutorial. I have been trying to suss out a method for making shoe bases for my 1:6 action figures and I think I can use this. I also want to try moulding thermoplastic in these. I really enjoyed your video and got all the info I needed.
Weeeellll.... theres a ton of cash and effort saved. Bravo mate. Bravo.
Excellent this will be super useful for a mass conversion im doing
Great tutorial. The original one you did five years back was great as well. It was that tut that brought me to your channel. :-)
Thank you. Nice tutorial.
I want to mod chaos warrior shields with Khorne, Nurgle ... signs and this is the way.
Fantasticly done sir. Very clean and crisp method. Looking forward to seeing more from you! :)
Nice vid. I need to make the top half of a few rippers so thanks I'll use this.
DO you think this way would work with a two sided bit?
Is the mould half already cured when you put more green stuff in it?
Oh wow this is a game changer. Subscribed and liked
so how would you do a head? press half and half and glue the halfs together?
WOW amazing tut. Thanks corvus!!!
Goop works great for removing petroleum jelly or oil
Great tutorial. Nice to see how others do it
is it possible to use a mold for purity seals?
Very useful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for the tutorial!
Why would you use green stuff when blue stuff is smoother and reusable? And for the actual copy I would use epoxy putty 1. doesn´t stick to the bluestuff 2. way harder then greenstuff 3. better to work with later
How long did you leave it to cure?
Also I greenstuffed a leg for my model and now he won't stand up so I rested him against a support. Will that take a day to dry?
+Adriaan van den Berg Not sure how long exactly green stuff has to cure, but I usually leave it alone overnight. Then I basically start working with it again the following night, so that's 24 hours.
How well this tecnique works on things like shoulder guards?
Just keep it small.
yeah! thx for this turorial. This is a great thing to reproduce everything (-:
Nice sharing matey
great vid
if i put vege oil on a sword or something then place it into the greenstuff then do a top seal would this method work to do a full weapon?
haha did you have any luck with that ? im wondering if i can do that with a shield instead
Does this also work with miliput?
Unlimited Blood Angel blood drops here we go.
This is an awesome ideea. Thanks much. :D
Will it work for slightly rounded bits, like a scarab occult terminators shoulder pad? I magnetized my heavy weapon guy and want to mould out two shoulders for the other arms.
I think it's worth the try, however you will have to find a way to hollow out the bit to the same dimensions as the original.
Ingenious
Very cool!
Out of curiosity, how well does green stuff hold up to the affects of time? Looking to turn a Vanguard Vet into my Sanguinary Priest with some green stuff robes. Will he be about the same with care in 5 to 10 years, or will the green stuff flake by then?
Nathaniel Jernigan, so long as you mix the two parts well for couple of minutes, your finished piece should last nearly as long as the miniature itself :)
The miniature will live or die quickly, so why bother ?
Is there a trick to pick up the copy before it cures so it can still wrap around a round surface, like a chapter badge on a shoulder plate?
You have to find that sweet spot during the curing process for the greenstuff. On a 1:1 ratio I fund after 30 mins it retains its shape but is mouldable. Should do the trick
Like Adam said don’t be afraid to experiment with drying times. Another option is to add a bit more of the harder compound to the mix. Thank you for your comment!
Oh yeah.. make a thunder hammer lol fr though good video
Will this also work with round shapes? I‘m thinking about using this to copy Skulls
Sure that will work!
Could this also work for lets say some comi-weapons? Or are these to detailed?
As long as you only need one halve of the weapon I think it should be possible!
Very cool.
i know this is an old vid so im hoping this will even catch your attention but im an absolute newbie to greenstuff and was wondering kinda how it would work if say you took a chest aquilla from a marine and tried this but then bent it to the shape of another minis chestplate before it fully cured? The idea is to take a mold of an aquilla from sanguinary guard torso and then place it on a stormcasts chestplate.
Even when completely cured green stuff is still a bit flexible, so I guess with some good superglue you can stick it on. Good luck!
Very cool tip.
this is how I imagine forgeworld to actually produce their kits.
Any suggestions on how I could make an afro?
wonderful tutorial, but i was thinking : would baby powder work instead of oil ? so that you wouldn't have to rinse the bit
+SpaceChampi Don't know if it will work. But anyway you want to get rid of the powder before priming and painting, right?
+Corvus Miniatures yeah obviously but i think it's easier to get rid of than oil
At 3:49 How long do you guys wait for it to be cured
I usually leave it overnight.
Song name?
about to test this and if it works...
*mass produce of plasmaguns intensifies*
And did it work?
And everyone is just like "woah it's so cool !" (and it is) but I'm just like : 5:58 is he doing an Imperial Fist or a Crimson Fist razorback ?
See the result here: th-cam.com/video/6Tvmayk-DOQ/w-d-xo.html :)
Thanks for your quick answer ! So it was indeed an Imperial fist razorback... looks really good, keep up your good work ;)
thanks I need some scarabs for my necron bases and terrain
Tank u))
This is why green stuff is so expensive... People would just buy one model and duplicate half thier grunt troops if it was cheaper!
Может кто подскажет, что там был за трек?
Where i can get Green Stuff (not the liquid shit) this days ?
For example on elementgames.co.uk/?d=10197 where you can get stuff like this: elementgames.co.uk/paints-hobby-and-scenery-by-manufacturer/tt-combat/miscellaneous/18-inch-green-stuff-49563?d=10197
Or just get blue stuff.
Is it easier to use? I still have a hard time using green stuff.
I'm sorry, was the video about blue stuff?
Mother of god
Be careful, you might get sued for copyright infringement by GW. They need that dollar they'd charge you for the bit.
Yes this is sarcastic.
Gay music ruined it
