I put together my first landspeeder, and also used green stuff for the first time. Not just to fill in gaps but to actually add salamander scale detail to the model. I also magnatized everything, which was another first for me, and cut s salamander head out of plasticard. Did I mention it was my first time assembling a Land Speeder? Anyhow about 8 hours later the first landspeeder will be ready for priming tomorrow. Plan is to ultimately have 3 landspeeders done linke this, and then paint them all together. This will be my most ambitious "conversion", "build", whatever you want to call it to date.
BTW I tried two different methods of green stuff scales. The first was to ball up green stuff and randomly smash it (which ultimately looks really nice and is easy if the green stuff doesn't stick), the other was to roll out some green stuff, let dry over night, cut and remove then cut away to form the scale shapes. While the latter also looks nice, it takes a lot more work and gives a completely different look.
