ProCreate sculpting putty
ProCreate putty, 70g: $16.50 44 packs available
ProCreate is a two-part expoxy putty, designed for miniature sculpting. Each pack contains two 35g bars, sealed in foil and waxed paper. When the two components are mixed on a 1:1 ratio, the putty is very similar to Kneadatite (aka "Greenstuff"), although it isn't quite as sticky. You can vary the ratio of resin to hardener, to alter the properties of the putty.
- 40% Resin : 60% Hardener - dark grey colour, ~180min working life. Good for organic shapes.
- 50% Resin : 50% Hardener - mid-grey colour, ~120min working life. A good all-round putty for general sculpting work.
- 60% Resin: 40% Hardener - light grey colour, ~90min working life. Suitable for drilling, sanding and filing. Typically used for hard edges and inorganic shapes.
Sculpting tools

A 6-inch single-ended sculpting tool, with a long needle tip. Please note that we are now selling a solid stainless steel tool, in place of the aluminium-handled version (shown below) that previously filled this slot.
Sculpting tool D: $6, or $5 if purchased with ProCreate putty (14 in stock)
A 5-inch single-ended sculpting tool, with a long needle set into an polished wooden handle. The handle is wider than Tool C, and can be more comfortable to use for people with large fingers.

A 5-inch double-ended sculpting tool, with two small burnishing balls of different sizes. This is an invaluable tool for sculpting details like faces (for eye sockets) and chainmail.
Woodland Scenics groundcover products
Clump foliage - medium green: $15 8 bags in stock
Clump foliage is a spongy material, good for modelling small bushes and other groundcover. It combines well with other textures of flock and static grass to give a natural woodland appearance. Clump foliage is sold in 55 cu. in. (900 cu. cm) bags.
Underbrush - Dark Green: $25 2 shakers in stock
As the name suggests, Underbrush is perfect for attaching at the base of other foliage clusters, to blend them into the surrounding area. Underbrush is similar in texture to the Clump Foliage, though it forms smaller clusters and is easily scattered over terrain. The Dark Green colour is subtly darker than the clump foliage listed above. Underbrush is sold in 52 cu. in. Shaker bottles, best suited to medium-large terrain projects.
Field Grass - Natural Straw: $10 16 in stock, Light Green: $10 16 in stock
Field Grass is used to model reeds and long grass. Natural Straw is best used for clumps of tall, dry grasses, while Light Green is best used for reeds around water features. Field Grass is sold in 8g bags - a little bit goes a very long way.
Sampler Pack (green): $16.50 4 in stock
Perfect for adding some extra detail to your character models, or for trying out new materials without buying them in huge quantities. The Sampler Pack (green) includes samples of Medium Green clump foliage, Dark Green underbrush, and two colours of fieldgrass (light green and natural straw), and should be sufficient to detail two terrain pieces or 20 bases.
Miscellaneous items
Purple Mantis Dice (bag of 10): $15 4 packs available
All orders of $20 or more come with a super-stylish Purple Mantis D6. If you'd like to get hold of more of them, you can also buy them in bags of ten. Purple Mantis dice are 16mm 'lustrous purple' dice from Chessex, with a gold mantis logo replacing the '1'.
Winsor & Newton Brush Cleaner and Restorer: $10 Sold out!
The Brush Cleaner and Restorer is a liquid paint solvent, designed to remove dried paint from the bristles. For best results, hang your brushes in a small container of cleaner overnight, and wash them with warm soapy water the next morning. You'll be surprised how much paint comes out... Only submerge the bristles and ferrule (metal cap) in the cleaning solution, as it can also remove laquer from the brush handle. The brush cleaner and restorer is sold in 120mL bottles.
