| Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at green stuffing anything more adventurous than a mustache or pair of sideburns (be gentle!) Eventually it's either going to be a Marienburg mercenary captain or witch hunter captain. Hope y'all enjoy it! | |

| The future Captain of Whatever is an EXCELLENT start. I like the way his coat tails flare out...nice touch. Keep up the GOOD WORK! | |

| Yep, cadian body and legs as the base. Thanks for the kind words Deafnala, like I say its the first proper thing I've done with green stuff so I wasn't too sure how it would turn out. I think I've decided to make him a witch hunter captain, put lifts on his shoes to make him more imposing and put loads of tat (books, ropes etc) around his belt so he's ready for anything! | |

| Right after a bit of a shouting match with the green stuff, back with a little more progress and possibly a change of plan. I think since nothing screams witch hunter about him and due to the coat theres not much room to put loads of tat round his waist, he's going to be a mercenary captain/champion. Anyway here he is (I'm hoping that paint will cover the fingerprints in the green stuff) He looked a bit fat round the neck so I tried to turn it into a fur ruff of sorts. Again be kind but any advice is welcome | |

| For the first attempt in green stuff it looks realya good. To get rid of the fingerprints you could use fine sandpaper. | |

| I like the fur-ruffed coat. In my limited green stuff experience I smooth finger prints with a little water and lightly rubbing it with my finger, using a smooth tool in tight spots. | |

| When I first got started in War Gaming, a lack of actual 18th century miniatures forced us into converting more modern Britains Ltd figures. Whenever I see one of the Cadians or such being used as a Mordheim conversion, I remember what a pain it was trying to make a tunic uniform coat look like a vest under a turned back coat. GOOD LUCK with it! | |

| Nice work! I like the fur on the shoulders! Mabye you could go over the green stuff with the back of a brush to get rid of the fingerprints? Just be sure to do it gentle with small circular movements so that you don't reshape it by mistake! | |
