How To: Sculpt with Greenstuff

Some very useful tips. For example:

By varying the ratio of blue to yellow, the properties of Greenstuff will be modified. Using more blue (hardener) in the mixture, the putty will cure faster and harder. Using more yellow (filler) will do the opposite, it will make the putty a softer blend that will take detail better but harden slower.

Interview with Winston Acosta

I've previously featured two of Winston "Scavenjer33" Acosta's fabulous customized Munnys. He was kind enough to answer a few questions.

Q: What kind of art/crafting education do you have?
A: I have always been into art, in middle school I attended one of the first magnet schools in Miami, then for High school I was accepted to a visual arts program and went to college for commercial arts.



Q: What type of tools, paint, sculpture medium do you use to customize Munnys? Do you use any products to seal the paint?
A: It's funny, I just started using Sculpey and customizing toys literally a couple of weeks ago. I had taken sculpture classes in high school but never was into it until now. I've used acrylics all the time for my art and am very comfortable with them. I am still learning Sculpey and use a wooden chop stick that I found as a tool. What ever works! I do seal the customs with Krylon clear acrylic coating.



Q: Do you take commissions?
A: Not at this moment. I would like to in the future.



Thanks Winston! You can visit his Flickr gallery here, and his official site here.

Underneath all that it's a Iceman action figure. Go here to see lots of in progress and finished photos. "Warrack" made the holster out of paper to get the shape right, and then covered the paper with Milliput.
