Huoomm … as that ‘green stuff’ is easy to handle, once is it mixed properly, that miliput affords a quicker reaction to sculpt … I never tried that micro-wave version, Master Gavin. … was it that time you had to buy a new stove … ? oven? hearth? kitchen? … such is life …

Greenstuff is probably best left in the scrumpy (along with the ” ‘shrooms” as we call them out here)! Personally, I’m too cheap to try it when the Kneadite stuff that Wendy mentioned is available. Same stuff; way less gold! All fillers have there up’s and down’s depending on what you are using them for. I’ve even had occasion to use plumber’s putty for certain needs (not plumbing needs)!

Rhuoommm … concerning your experiences with them plumber’s putty, shrooms and green stuff… I can say that I tried all of that material … rhuoomm … though I have to admit that I never came across that “Kneadite” stuff you referred to … maybe the Lady could give me advice where to get it … rhuoommm …
as for that green stuff best being left in a scrumpy … along with shrooms, fir-balls and rat-tails … ahem, I just do hope that our barkeep doesn’t read this … huoomm … once he finds out about this recipe he might offer them liquid as “Barli’s Best” … rhuoommmhommm

I generally use Magic Sculp, but for sculpting fine details I like to mix in some Kneadatite or ProCreate (same texture, different colors) with the MS. Kneadatite and ProCreate are very, very stiff and sticky. I’ve never used Milliput, but those I’ve talked to who have prefer Magic Sculp.

The trouble with all these products is that I’m not sure how many are available this side of the water, or whether they even have the same brand names.

And I’ve tried just about everything in my scrumpy, Master Tree, and they have a minimal effect on the taste, though they do make the mugs harder to wash.

I don’t like this green stuff eighter. I guess I’m more a carver. I use a plastic putty. Easy to shape as long as it is soft and easy to cut and polish when hard. All I need to create!

Rhuooommm … sounds like you’re using some kind of resin, Master Caster … maybe based on that “polyäthylen”-stuff … usually some layers of glass fibre are also used with it if you want to achieve some stability … huoommm in case you’re about to build boats … hom … 😆

You are close Master Ent….
Some people also call it builders putty.
Some people use it to fill up dints in cars.
Great stuff, at least for what I use it for….

Huoommm … so my guess wasn’t that wrong at all, meseems … rhuoommm … I even used it once to fix the drain pipe of a washing machine and it even stood the vibrations of the spin dry programme …. rhuoommm …. great stuff indeed … just a bit smelly …. 😆

My beloved wife would like to complete this suggestion with the following product name: FIMO.
Meanwhiling I have found my edition of Milliput. It was under many layers of different things . . .
And I will try to work out how to use it for my Troll-Trio, under assistence of mistress Wendy.

Totally off topic:

And yes, Master Tree, our stove went on fire in january. Rather traumatic, that.

You should bring her to the Pony. I could do with the insurance payout.

Well horse flesh is still eaten by Men in certain countries, sadly, though I personally find the concept decidedly unattractive.

Huoommm rhuoommm … it’s difficult to distinguish Dwarves, isnt it? … huoomm … just to be honest … ahem, a bit tiny they are, aren’t they? … rhuomhuomhom … it sometimes is hard to tell who’s who …. right? … rhuoommm …
Master Barliman, could you distinguish between Master Balin and Master Dwalin right away? … you didn’t even try to find out about Master Bifur and Master Bofur … rhuoomm … alas …
rhuoommm … just spoil one of them filled bowls I do like most and give it to me, please …
and let’s have a toast to The Man ! ….. rhuoomhom … ahh, before that, would you top it up, please? …… huooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I can’t even tell the lady dwarves from the gents! Perhaps they should all wear name tags, or the ladies could wear pink hoods or something – it would prevent a lot of potential embarrassment.

Master Barliman, I am not sure about Bree people, but I thought dwarven ladys have no beards at all. So it is not as difficult to distinguish them. Unfortunately we will not have the cance to prove it as these days we will rarely see a dwarf lady outside the few dwarven settlements – and the men keep them like treasures.
I find it much harder to distinguish ladys an lords of the Tree-people, you know, Ents. What could you tell us, Master Tree, about that?

I am also interested in the question, if the new MX vignettes will all be released once or if there will be several vignettes for a payable price released one by one.

Ah, my dear Master Estel, you clearly don’t know your Tolkien! Notes published in vol.11 of the ‘History of Middle-earth’ categorically state that the Dwarven ladies have beards like their menfolk. Why else do you think I’d have difficulty telling them apart?
