I was wondering the same thing. I asked a few guys I played with at GW, and they said it's basically used for filling small gaps, so places where you would for instance glue a model together. But they mentioned only really small gaps make this stuff work, if they get any larger then let's say the width of a nail, it works the same as paint, personally I tend to fill these gaps with paint anyway, never had any problems.

Again I haven't used it, but just what I got from people that did.

For filling small holes and smoothing over rough patches, yes. However, using it to add fine detailing (for example like the golden decorations on Helm's Deep Legolas' bow) it isn't very useful. It really depends what you wanna use it for?


I think it's worth buying a pot just to try it out and see if it does what you want it to do :)

Good idea! I did the same and don't regret the £3 I spent!

Just make sure you dilute the liquid greenstuff as it can be a bit thick and lumpy straight out of the pot :)

Its ok IMO, the problem is if you dont use much then it dries out, even with the lid on tight.

I find the Vallejo much better, does the same job and lasts for years.

I bought a pot, but I don't think I've used it much. I'm not that much of a sculpter, though, so I couldn't tell you how it compares.
