Glad you liked it mate!
Gollum minus drying time..... 30 minutes. With drying time, about 2-3hours.
The base was made out of the same board i used for my trench terrain, and i got a thick strip of putty and placed it around the edges, pinched it to form a point, then used a toothpick to create the lines or indents.
Waited 2-3days for it to be completely dry, then undercoated black, heavily drybrushed with Dark Flesh (GW), lighter drybrush with Codex Grey (GW), even lighter drybrush with Fortress Grey (GW) then a final dusting of Skull White (GW). Also, i then added a watered-down 'wash' of Dark Green Ink (GW) to the water area's.
Painting time for that took 2 minutes.
Then i added the resin, and waited 36 hours.
Thanks again, sorry for the blurry pictures.

How did you find the silver milliput? I confess I haven't tried it myself yet - it's new to me.
Is it any good?

Well, with greenstuff you make sure your tools and fingers are wet. With Milliput - Silver the problem is that it starts off like modelling clay! My hands turned completely white!
But then, if you mix it with dry hands your okay, but it blends well, theres a heck of alot of it! It holds detail well, not as great as GS, but still very detailed. It takes awhile to dry (but admittedly thats because i used at least 2cm thick of it!) but is very strong. Easy to shape with toothpicks/any other tools.
Cheaper then GS aswell!
In all, a very good buy, thank you Ebob!

wo great article mate, i think you have got the perfect merky colour on the water, the effect is brilliant,also, a nicely painted golum, and thats a small mini so a tricky one to do, but uve tackled that obsticle well,and the base blends in exelently, overall, great work fm, youve set a high standard.!!

Milliput - at least the standard grey one - dries very rapidly with heat. I stick mine in front of portable desk heater - (hot air fan) and it dires in about 10 minutes - compared to 4 or 5 hours at room temp.

Thanks NightHunter, i used Woodland Scenics ready-mixed Resin for the water, good stuff.
But good idea Ebob, i think ill put it outside to dry next time, after all, it worked for Textured Filler. Milliput is great, really is, highly recommended!
Thanks again all, feel free to post up pictures or write articles, it doesn't matter if your a Ebob-level scuplter or painter, i sure know im not!
