Welcome back Tom! 👋 and thx for this useful tutorial! Greetings from Germany

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Hey, thanks! Haben Sie einen guten Tag (I haven't spoken Deutsche since grade school. Wish I kept up with it).

[@TooMiniModels]

Amazing!

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Thanks!

[@SoaringHighRU]

Thank you for the video. I received Perry Agincourt mounted yesterday and a piece of the horse chainmail was missing from the sprue 😕 I will try to arrange the chainmail using your technique

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Awesome! Glad the video helped.

[@SoaringHighRU]

@@TomMasonSculptor I have them ready painted and it looks great. It’s in my last video 🙂

[@pbyfr]

Always interesting, even if I don't see which figures on my railway layout need chainmaille!
Still strange that the views are so low.

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Ah, give it a few weeks.

[@____________838]

Would love to see how this looks painted up.

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Good call. I have it on my painting table along with the Kronan I used for sculpting fur. I'll post once I paint them.

[@rhemaminiatures]

Ur videos are amazing... In u r beginning video u used green stuff n fimo on top, do you bake ur fimo ? Is it safe to bake epoxy? 🤔, I want you use premo over epoxy , thus the doubt, pls clarify..

[@TomMasonSculptor]

I always bake my FIMO when I am done with all of the sculpting. Premier should work just as well and in the same way as FIMO.
Good luck with your sculptures!

[@sebastianvogt6554]

Sorry Tom quick question: why do you mix it 1:2? I always thought you should mix it 1:1? Sorry if you explained it in any of your videos before already

[@nekrataali]

I think that's how Greenstuff comes in the package. There's twice as much yellow to blue, as seen here: www.greenstuffworld.com/5179-thickbox_default/green-stuff-tape-6-inches-with-gap.jpg
If you buy large, practically industrial quantities of the stuff in jars/bars/tubes instead of in strips (like I'm sure Tom does), you have to measure it out in a 2:1 ratio instead of just cutting at the same spot in a strip.

[@sebastianvogt6554]

@@nekrataali oh wow man never realized that.. Thanks a lot and sorry for asking that stupid question !

[@nekrataali]

@@sebastianvogt6554 I don't think it's a dumb question it's just not something that's really noticeable because of how Greenstuff is usually packaged lol

[@kurogiza]

In my experience the mix ratio affects how the putty behaves.
A 1:2 mix of blue/yellow gives a more squishy but stickier putty. A 1:1 mix gives a stiffer but slightly less sticky putty.
The cured putty is also different: the cured 1:2 mix is bends more easily, useful if you have pre-made a curvy pipe or something that just needs to bend that little further before you super glue it in place in the final figure.

[@TomMasonSculptor]

As some of the other comments say, yes, Greenstuff was origianlly sold in tape form which had more yellow than blue in the strip. You can do 50/50 or even more blue. Many mixes work. However, I find the material more pliable when mixing it with more yellow.

[@HollywoodColt]

Where do you get those little jars at?

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Those are little screw nesting bead organizers. You should be able to find them at most craft stores.
