Tutorial: Making green stuff press molds (part 1)

There are a couple of really good videos on this subject on YouTube, but most of them are about casting large bits or they do not have all the tips necessary to make this technique really work. With this video I'm showing how I do it, combining the knowledge I got from the other videos and also some forum posts. I don't own a state of the art new camera, but I tried to keep the quality as high as possible with the given hardware.

Please subscribe (and stay tuned for part 2 where you can see the end result) and rate & comment (this is my very first YouTube video). Visit my website http://corvusminiatures.blogspot.com for everything painting and wargaming.

I can use vaseline or olive oil right?

[CorvusMiniatures]

@blunted1987 don't know about vaseline (I think this will work) but any type of vegetable oil will do

Dolphin napkins ftw!

Change the music, I think metal's inappropriate for video game clips and even MORE inappropriate for model casting!

Otherwise, good tute.

How long do you wait after making the green stuff up before using it? I remember being told it changes quite a bit in its properties as it cures...

@priceyfyi Agreed, I use water saves having to wash off the oil

[priceyfyi]

water works just as well and is free. excellent help though
