I really want to try modeling even though i think il suck at it, i cant find any comprehensive guides...i really need a pc again -.- i dont really have money so if i need to buy tools id rather know exactly what im getting rather than trial and error.

im guessing you mean 'sculpting' ... modelling is really defining the whole 'building and painting' section of the hobby...

I suppose so, i would call it modeling but hey... I never like to be in the scene  What i really wanted to do to get the scale right is use a guardsman and coat him in GS or whatever then work on it purly because i wouldnt get the scale otherwise. |

yeah, adding additions to existing models is the best way to start... the tools you will need to start with are.. a pin. a scalpel these (to me) are the tools i use to sculpt the most... when you have stretched the limits of these tools i suggest getting a sculpting tool pack like www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2046448.m570.l1313&_nkw=sculpting+tool&_sacat=0&_from=R40this is the same tool pack i have. then tools like files and clay shapers (which can be very expensive) could be added to your tool collection in the future. as for putty... and i dont want to sound like a thingy with this, but i reccomend you buy every type of putty and then choose to use which you prefer.... green stuff (kneadatite), procreate , milliput etc are all different and perform differently... i think its perhaps best you decide what you start with considering imo... green stuff is perhaps the hardest putty to work with |

Thanks dude, i got a bunch of gs already so i ordered off ebay a pack of milliput that comes with two sculpt tools for a fiver. Il look into procreate when i have more moneys cause it costs alot more than the others.
