Hobby stores mainly. Milliput, A+B Epoxy, Magic Sculpt and more are all brands. You can also try plumbers putty from DIY stores, which supposedly is the same thing. Look for almost any putty that is two-part.
@TheSeasonman1 There is no sculpting fur video. It was more of an off-hand remark. It's easy to do. Just apply the putty and score it dozens of times with the back of a hobby blade.
Got to shop at lowes for inexpensive epoxy putty. It is in the adhesive section near primers. 4oz tube which is about an inch in diameter and either 4 to 8 inches long depending on how much you want to spend. Just look at lowes web site for epoxy putty. Make sure you pick out one that says paintable!
Awesome tutorial. May have to re-base my Ikiryo which is only primed so far! One question, aren't the stones/bricks awfully large considering the scale of the figures?
@mgm96 Not only am I not an expert at sculpting, I'm not even a beginner. Apart from doing fur, which is easy, I've never sculpted. I can make a stone base, not sculpt a face. Hey! I rhymed!
Thank you a great tutorial on this way of saving money and making something unique . Well done You mentioned fur scupting but can't find that title from you ? Can you please point me in the right direction . Thank you . keep them coming please .
Hello ... I know this video is a few years old....but I really need to know what this Epoxy Putty is and where I can get it......my son and I are getting ready to make some custom bases and the stuff you used in this video was great......
I notice in a lot of your videos you have your miniatures affixed base-and-all to an old paint pot. You can then hold the mini by the pot. How are you doing this?
So how well do the stamps work with greenstuff or milliput. Also is Alumilite Amazing Mold Putty(yellow/white putty) comparable to the 5 minute putty(the stuff in the video) for stamp making.
+Raistlarn I don't like the hard, rubber texture of green stuff, but it would work. Miliput is similar to Magic Sculpt. The new version sold by alumilite appear to be the same in all but color.
so how do you put the mini on that base? Do you cut off the bit of metal on the bottom that sticks in the base (don't know what that bottom part is called)? Or is this method for plastic minis only?
What brand of rock did you use?
Cool! How many in the set??
All rocks are one brand. Nature
Rock brand.
Sedimentary
These look great! Thanks for posting this simple tutorial.
AWESOME tutorial. You rock! Would love to see more Malifaux painting vids when/if possible. Thanks!
Just beautiful. Thanks for all of the great advice!

Loving it bud! :) They look great. Thanks for the vid!
@gsquared7 Of course you can make them any size you want. I was thinking of an old castle which used fairly large stones.
Really useful tutorial.
I'll be using this.
Very nice tutorial! I need help improving my basing so these are great.
@carversoftball Brookhurst Hobbies. Many online stores carry Malifaux as well.
Balled up tinfoil works pretty good for stone texturing too. Just roll it over the putty.
Grate work on your videos. Thank you for all your hard work. Keep it Kool and Real Peace!
I did something like this just in the last week but I used crinkled up aluminum foil. Works great and was actually faster than the rock method. :)
I'm a big fan, I just used your technique for a miniature posted on my blog.
that give a lot of ideas, well done
@ThePaintingClinic Thanks!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
@blueparasaur that would give some really crazy lines for sure!

Doctor Faust, what material do you use to make this base?

Not my medium of choice, but should work.
Who makes that big rock? That thing's sick...
@ThePaintingClinic A bargain!! I'll take two! Put it on my tab...
Do you have a tutorial for making the rock?
Nicely done. Question though. Where can I get one of those.... what did you call it... rock?
Seems like a great tool and I'd like to get one ;)
it looks like that epoxy putty has a lot longer working time than green stuff.
what brand is it and where could I get it?
I notice in a lot of your videos you have your miniatures affixed base-and-all to an old paint pot. You can then hold the mini by the pot. How are you doing this?
I'm having trouble filling the hollow bases that came with my minis. What kind/brand of epoxy putty is used in the video? Thanks!
rcaladlr Magic Sculpt.

+Doctor Faust's Painting Clinic Thanks for the quick reply and the answers.
Hardware stores. lowes, home depot and maybe walmart
Balled up tin foil makes a good rock texture
Would it work with air drying clay?
How much was that texture tool? $50 from GW?
Great video ...By any chance where do you get your mini figures from...?
+NITTYPERRY Local Brookhurst Hobbies.
+Doctor Faust's Painting Clinic Do u know where I can buy mini figure online websites the kind u can paint...?
The more well known ones are Brookhurst Hobbies, Miniature Market, or The War Store.
+Doctor Faust's Painting Clinic Thank U..
where do you get the Malifoux minis??
How much does this ...rock cost exactlyO-o don't think my lawn is to small for this rock you speak of
Hey man. This is a real cool video but it is abit long maybe shorten to 10 mins be perfect.
Look forward to see more :P
BTW, I see the battle scar on your thumb, looks similar to the one I just gave myself. :(
19:20 I've got Hikaru Nakamura vibes all of a sudden x)
@MoreDakka101 FWIW, wadded up tin foil works just as well if u cant find a real rock with an interesting patten. ;-)
What if you need the slot?
Cool tuxtre
Probably a granite of sort...
:P
rock to make jewel
@MoreDakka101 I'm selling them. $49.95 plus $19.99 shipping and handling.
Could I use green stuff for this?
SeapearlE Experiment and find out
I can hear the rain in the background.

AWESOME tutorial. You rock! Would love to see more Malifaux painting vids when/if possible. Thanks!
so how do you put the mini on that base? Do you cut off the bit of metal on the bottom that sticks in the base (don't know what that bottom part is called)?
Or is this method for plastic minis only?
Cut it off and pin and glue it.
