Finecast is Dead

Best basing sand I've found is Budgie Sand, from the petshop. Whacking great bag of it for very little cost. Suitably coarse as well!

But I buy most of my hobby supplies from GW, if not all. Simply because it's convenient, being only 5 minutes up the road. No other hobby shop in town, or local area really.

Just as an example, it's maybe 10 or 15 dollars for a little thing of green stuff. I just went on Amazon and bought 5 pounds of magic sculpt, which is fairly similar, for $30 plus shipping.

Since we're on the subject, I use this stuff for glue:

works really well but I'm looking for something with a very precise applicator for smaller stuff, anyone know any good ones?

[Psychosplodge]

yeah that, or similar is my superglue of choice. Think theres a more expensive version with a trendy bottle that supposedly gives more control isnt there?

[DarkLink]

Some are more gel, some more liquid. They all seem to work pretty well. I've found that the best brands are the ones that don't leak and glue themselves shut, really.

I find super glue is a far better hobby tool than plastic cement. I can quite easily and accurately snap apart models that are super glued if i find i wish to repose or rearm them. Plastic glues tend to be far less change friendly and liable to breaking poorly when trying to redo them.

@Popsical: Gorilla Super Glue. Best d*mned thing you will get for anything that isn't plastic (and it even works well on plastic too).

Finecast is dead? Good riddance.

You can get Green Stuff much cheaper if you look outside of GW's re-packaging. Litko's version is the best that I've found (fairly large tubes for not a whole lot of money).

Look for it under Kneadatite as well. It is the same stuff, but that's it's original name.

I also like to use Apoxie Sculpt as an add in. That works quite well.
