Do you just fill in with green stuff after the mini has been glued on or do you snip the slot off the mini, fill the gap on the base and then glue the feet on the base ?

I just put a thick glob of pva in it, most of the time. Using greenstuff for filling slottabses is a big waste of time and greenstuff imo...  |

| By the way, don't use GW's pva for that purpose as it's almost as thick as milk. You want Bison pva - it doesn't run. |

Yup, advising people to put mini's in the gaps of their slottabases is the best marketing scheme anyone ever came up with. We should offer Anthony a managing job at GW Sales

| You can also use wall joint compund (after placing the mini in the slot to increase GW revenues of course). You can get an enourmous bucket of it for $5 that will last you a LONG time at most hardware stores. |

Now he tells me! I've just used 75% of a packet of greenstuff by sculpting the basis for my Nurgle Lord. And now I have to sculpt his armour and weapons. That's another bucket of greenstuff

A packet? Get it from Heresy. GW over here charge £4.00 for 2x 100mm strips. Andy charges £5.00 for 450mm or £9.00 for 900mm. So if you get a 900mm strip that's half what GW charge. By all accounts it's fresher and hence better to work with too. |

Yes, I know, but I've got loadsa packets from the time I worked at GW Nijmegen (cheap as hell!) and I'm finishing them first before I buy new stuff. By the way, I'm at 150% packets of greenstuff already and I haven't even started working on the arms yet

| I use the old GW greenstuff I still have (had) lying around. It's gotten all lumpy and sucks big time when used for sculpting |

| Not as elegant as green stuff or joint compound, I use Cellotape (or Scotch tape). I put a small piece over the gap, then paint, flock and seal. Never had any problems with it. |
