What is modelling putty?
Modelling putty is a malleable material that usually consists of two components that are mixed together. Once combined, the putty slowly begins to cure, giving hobbyists enough working time to sculpt shapes and details.
Common varieties include Green Stuff and Grey Stuff. Green Stuff is known for its flexibility and is often used for organic shapes and sculpting, while Grey Stuff cures harder and is better suited for sharp edges and rigid structures.
At Scenery Workshop modelling putty is widely used by miniature painters, sculptors and scale modellers who want to customise or improve their miniatures.
