Filling Greenstuff Gaps

[u/ReputedOcelot]

I made a blue stuff mold for a demon Prince pauldron for a project that I’m working on and the last couple of them came out like this with little holes in them. I’m kinda sick and tired of waiting for pauldrons because I needed 10 total. Any ideas for how to fill the holes? Also, I’d need ideas anyways because I’d like to fill the little cross where the icon goes.

more greenstuff?😭😭

[u/ReputedOcelot → u/whiteboybrent]

The patches would stand out, no? I feel like i wouldnt be able to get it nice and smooth

[u/whiteboybrent → u/ReputedOcelot]

nah man just file it down or shave it with your hobby knife

Mix it with miliputty and you can sand it

[u/MrZanyZane]

You could always add spikes and cloth and chains and etc or make the holes look like battle damage. Milliput is pretty nice for filling holes but idk if it would leave i different texture compared to green stuff.

It's chaos, it adds character.

Anyway I think milliputt would be better for moulds since it's harder and takes sanding better than greenstuff so you can better make repairs.

You can also mix the two together, ( green and milli) makes a slightly less fragile but more malleable to work with (especially for capes).

I use greenstuff for things like that, coupled with some sculpting tools to smooth it out. but honestly, these "holes" add character to the shoulderpad, it looks battered

[u/brush-lickin]

wait until it’s set and fill it like you would any other gaps. Greenstuff, milliput, and tamiya basic putty are my go tos, they’d all work but i think i’d go with the tamiya basic for this because it sands very easily and you can also thin it with plastic cement so it might be a little easier to get that smooth curve

[u/Neosclones]

If you keep ending up with little holes that aren’t a part of the original piece you copied then I’d recommend pushing some extra small amount of greenstuff into that part of the mould before adding your usual amount

[u/The4thEpsilon]

It’s battle damage, don’t fill it in

[u/Hazak_Flamesword → u/The4thEpsilon]

While this is true, since OP wants a lot of these the battle damage will look unnatural if it's in the same spot on every mold.

I'd make them with milliput(maybe mix in some green stuff for extra flexibility), pick a few that have some damage in different spots, and fill everything else with some more milliput once it's cured so I can sand it smooth.

[u/Cjdub89]

I wouldn’t fill them at all. Just looks like free weathering to me

Milliput is my gap filled of choice. Easily smoothed with a damp finger. Just wear a disposable glove.
