Welcome to SCULPTING LEGENDS – an introduction to using putty, sculpting and creating your own bespoke characters.
This course centres on the creation of unique characters to lead your armies. This is a 2 day course perfect for beginner to intermediate hobbists who are looking to learn the basics of using putty, how to convert models and create unique pieces for your collection.
This course aims to:
- Give you a basic understanding of how to use Green Stuff. We’ll start at the very basics, working our way up to how to render hard and soft materials, fur and cloth
- Give you an overview of tools and how to use them. All the gear and no idea? We’ll cure that for you.
- Teach you how to repose a miniature. It’s a lot more than hacking and slashing. Learn how to create heroic poses that make your miniature stand out.
All students will receive an event-exclusive miniature plus a student workbook.
