So...when I finally get around to my corgi project, I was wondering what'd work for scratchbuilding armor, or building it over Command Wolf armor...I was reading about Milliput and the like, and thought that might work if combined with sheet plastic.
How does the stuff sculpt/carve/etc? In comparison to, say, clay, I mean. I've worked with real clay and the Sculpey kind, if that helps.

First off, you need to choose what type of putty you will use. I use Kneadanite (aka Greenstuff) because thats the only stuff I can find. Check out www.eldaronline.com/paintingtutorials/painting_greenstuff.shtml for some useful tips. If you still have any questions just ask. One word of advice, it can be a bit tricky to use at first so to a couple of trial runs to get used to it before starting on the real thing.

The harder kind sounds like it'd be better for armor...thanks for the link. Hmm...now to figure out where to buy it...after I get the rest of the parts I need.
Heck, I think Waiz Wolf's head would work better, now that I've seen it...gah.

No problem, I just need to find a command wolf so I can do up a urban combat wolf. Part of Dr. Foreman's division it is...

If you want to see what it looks like when used, this site uses it for bases for some of the minis, namely the Marauders, Archer, Blue Flame, and Phoenix Hawk. It isn't naturally rough, I don't think. That was done by sandpaper. brianscache.com/builds/

Well...uh...this one's for armor. The corgi-Zoid would be a defensive one, so it wouldn't have much in the way of guns. Just shield generators and pointy bits to make you regret it if you try and step on it because it's short.

Or, you can always watch Cowboy Bebop. There's a corgi in that...
I believe you're going for a modified Command Wolf, right Tilly? (With shorter legs, methinks?)

I saw a corgi custom once but I forgot what site it was. I think the person used a Wardick as a main body and I think a command wolf's head and that person used some other zoid's feet to replace the fins of the wardick.
I'll try to look for the site.

Yep. But after trying to paint over the AC's blue once, I'm waiting until I can buy a white one.
...so now I have *another* Command Wolf AC sitting and doing nothing. I think I'll wait until I can get a Leoshop silver/gold wolf and parts-swap the two.
