![]() With a little practice this method is great for armor, quilting, and lizard/dragon scales as well. Here is an example of several skeleton warriors who have armor made this way. I still use the stuff because I am not as good as the pros are by a long shot. ![]() If your tool or the GS has a little lubrication, the pull technique won’t work very well. This is one of several reasons a lot of pro sculptors eschew the use of Vaseline. Essentially one of the most annoying aspects of GS becomes a great property to work with. Because of the sticky nature of GS, this will pull the GS dony a little. Pat: gently press on the square with your sculpting tool, and without raising it up again, pull it down slightly. Once you have all of your rows cut, you need to pat and pull each square of GS. Well, using slightly less pressure when you make the cuts, that is exactly what you get. ![]() With the ballooning that GS tends to do when you work with it, this will start looking a lot like a quilted surface. Row by row, make vertical cuts until you get a grid pattern. With a little practice, this becomes very easy to do with consistent results. Here I cut with the edge of my sculpting tools spoon horizontal lines. That may be obvious, but I figured it was worth noting.Īdding the detail. Every time you press in detail, the supporting GS will change shape. NOTE: it helps a ton if the surface that you are sculpting GS onto isn’t uncured GS. ![]() To do this I simple worked the GS gently with the spoon end of my sculpting tool. Shape the GS into the rough shape that the area of armor is. In this case, I rubbed the area down with a paper towel, and scored the surface slightly with my sculpting tool. This can be a problem when it comes to adding more detail as new GS will want to stick to your fingers more than the cured GS. I tend to use Vaseline to help keep my GS smooth when I am doing surfaces like the tunic that I am building the armor on top of. Here I have applied the GS to the model’s thighs. Check out his work at Also, if you get an opportunity to do one of his sculpting classes at Gencon, I highly recommend it! I based this design on sculpting tools that were made by the very talented Gene VanHorne. I have yet to find anything commercially available that works as well. The little green ball beside him is the amount of mixed greenstuff that we need to do both areas of armor on this model. This guy is a member of a 25 man undead unit for my Warhammer Fantasy Battle army. Here is what we are working with in this tutorial. The longer the putty cures, while still being sculptable, the easier modeling in this method is. Generally speaking all of the below was done within several minutes of mixing the putty together. This kind of sculpting is very easy once you get the hang of the properties of greenstuff. Like the Log Suit, this armor also makes a slight noise while the player is moving.From time to time, as I am walking down the street, people come up to me and ask “Say Xenite, how do you model such wonderful looking scale armor on you small, but terrifying undead warriors?” The following is what I tell them….The Scalemail used to have the same stats as the Thulecite Suit and wasn't able to set Mobs on fire.She is the only one naturally immune to fire damage without special effects in place. With the introduction of the Scalemail, Willow is no longer the only character that can be immune to fire damage.In conclusion, it's possible to renew the Scalemail at the cost of 20% of the Deconstruction Staff and some Pig Skins. Using the Deconstruction Staff on a damaged Scalemail will return 1 Scale, 1 Log Suit with 100% durability and a number of Pig Skin relative to the damage on the Scalemail (armor at: 100% ~ 68% = 3 pig skins 67% ~ 35% = 2 pig skins 34% ~ 1% = 1 pig skin).This will cause the head armor to take most of the damage, with the armor taking much less. Also, the head armor should be equipped last. As this is difficult to obtain and cannot be repaired, one should always wear a Football Helmet or better head armor with it in combat, so as to avoid it losing too much durability.When they are set on fire by the armor, they can spread fire to nearby Structures and plants, possibly harming the player's resources. Care should be taken when fighting regular Mobs.Its fire immunity makes it ideal for fighting the Dragonfly, making the second encounter with the giant much easier than the first.Wearing the Scalemail to regain Sanity will not decrease its durability unlike Dress items, allowing infinite Sanity regeneration as long as the wearer stays out of a combat-heavy situation.The Scales is available at 'The Sty' Oddities Emporium. In the Hamlet DLC, the Scalemail crafting recipe is unavailable, however, a Blueprint for it can be bought with 200 Oincs from The Tinkerer's Tower.
