Having found a surgical glove ( Green stuff makes my skin tingly probably as I have eczema badly at the moment) I proceeded to try some 28mm cloaks and use the spare to plug air gun pellet holes in two 54mm figures.
Jury’s out but we will see how they look painted up…
Yes Greenstuff irritates my fingers as well.
ReplyDeleteGloves well worth it , imho.

It is useful. I also use Testors putty or Liquid Green Stuff for smoothing over gaps and adding small details like missing noses and moustaches and beards. Another option for cloaks is tissue alternatively in soaked in PVA and Super Glue. For large holes in old hollowcast I fill the hole with paper of steel wool before finishing with putty to save on wastage.
ReplyDeleteI will look out for the liquid green stuff.
DeleteYou know already of my glue, paper and masking tape mends. The hollow cast green stuff was really just an experiment because I had some left over.

They look good so far. I consider myself lucky to be resistant to putties etc. Hopefully the gloves will do the trick for surgery on miniatures.
ReplyDeleteFortunate fellow indeed..

I have a stock of blue latex gloves for that 'mad scientist' look. For adding cloaks to figures I've used kitchen paper soaked in PVA.
ReplyDeleteGot a pack of gloves yesterday for a very good price. I too like glue and paper for outdoor attire.

Back in the 70s I used to convert 54mm wild west figures with plasticene, that staple of Airfix figure conversions. Unable to find the fabled banana oil, I used to seal with a coat of matt varnish which does the same job. They stood up to a lot of handling and nearly 50 years later they are still intact. An alternative filler is to fill the hole or cavity with talc and add a drop of thin superglue. It needs to be thin so that it flows between the grains of talc. Needs a bit more cleaning up than most fillers but an alternative for those unlucky enough to have a reaction to solvent based fillers. Deluxe materials 'perfect putty' may be another alternative as its water based.
