Offering replacement parts is a great idea. Do it!!!

I think he sculpted onto the body underneath the rubber torso, then put it the rubber torso back on once he was finished.

Yeah exactly that is what I did, except that I had to dremel inside the rubber torso so that is was thinner and could be stretch by the resculpted body.

If that makes sense.


I tried an easier ay before (stuffing under the torso with cotton balls but it didn't looked massive enough)

In this hobby there is no easy way out

Well Seb, if you're doing a run of replacement parts, you wont be needing your prototype. I'll pm you my address.

Wow, okay that is a crazy amount of dedication. But it paid of with an impressive piece.

So what is green stuff, is it similar to milliput?

Yes is is similar but it's looks more like plastic.
It stick really well on plastic and rubber parts.

Thanks, I'll have to check it out. So far I've used Milliput and other 2 part epoxies, but they tend to be kind of "mushy/grainly" feeling and I've not had a lot of success getting a particularly smooth/finished look out of them.

With milliput just wet it down with a finger or even run it under water and smooth it out. Alternatively you can sand it but water is easier.
