I dont know how to sculpt the head (or maybe buying a small mouse skeleton....) the rest of the miniature until now has been done with tamiya quick type putty and GS

Cheers

oh i forgot, used a skeleton legs and a zombie torso as the starting base for working, for a newbie like me at sculpting i think is one of the best ways to keep proportion if you are not going to cast it (well a gigantic-and-mutated rat has no proportion but... :P)

Looks interesting. What kind of sculpting material do you use besides Green Stuff?

tamiya putty (not the one that is usually sold in tube) quick type , first is like chewing gum but every minute it gets nearer to a resin texture, handling time about 30-40 minutes.

And then it's completely hard? Or do you need to bake it too? (Maybe you can Pm me the article code and official name?)

the name is "TAMIYA EPOXY PUTTY" Quick Type and the box is this

At the moment is the putty i work better with, you can handle it with wet or oily tools, and it doest get stuck to them or to your fingers like GS. On the other hand, its more expensive but i think that it´s worth.Here the cost is about 7?

if you cant find it in a store there´s an e-shop, https://www.hobbiesguinea.com that sells it online but i dont know if they ship worlwide or just in Spain.

There´s no need to worry about questions ;) if you have got more, just PM or e-mail me, or in this post, whatever you prefer

indeed it looks promising. Can't give you any tips on the left arm though. Maybe a good sword or handgun could do the trick. And Demi's right, a couple of these could form a nice warband :)
