24 Hour Paintathon for a Seraphon / Lizardmen Start Collecting box

After I had let the Greenstuff cure for a day (a bit more than 24 hours actually), I was able to get it off quite quickly with the help of a very sharp blade to lift the sides and was left with three giant pizzas of Green Stuff. So the next thing to do was to cut the greenstuff to fit the bases roughly. To do this, I just took the Bases placed them on the Greenstuff, and then cut around them with the scalpel with a fresh blade.

Note:

Always have a few hundred blades on hand, these are only good sharp and tend to get dull quickly than cutting materials they are not intended for.

After I had cut the greenstuff parts, I just took the cork, placed the greenstuff pieces on to that and used the scalpel again to cut around them.

At this step, it was not necessary to be detailed, so I left a bit more cork on the edges.

I then glued the greenstuff with PVA onto the cork, glued the Cork onto the bases and used small clamps (iI have a load from the Poundland/euro store) to press it together.

If you use glue, it’s important to keep in mind, the corks suck any liquid into itself so be generous with the glue.

I then cut the cork to fit the edges of the greenstuff and let this cure for a few hours. This depends on what kind of glue you’re using. I have a quickly (read 1-3 hours) curing PVA in 500ml bottle of the big A for about 3.50 monies per bottle (pre corona ).

I then glued a bunch of Greenstuffworlds Tree Stumps (One blister of small and one of large, if you want these make sure you get the normal ones as they have haunted ones as well), which I got from store.ontabletop.com using the Army Painter superglue and activator (pretty much the only AP product that is good 😛 ) onto the bases.

After the curing, I slapped very generous the Stirland mud onto the edges to get rid of the “mould line” between the cork and the Greesntuff plates, and also to form the river bed.

This, again, was let to be to settle for a few hours. After which I just primed it with Vallejo’s Mecha Color Airbrush Primer Black.
