I want to make some dead bugs for SST. I plan to paint the miniatures as usual then cut them up with various parts having been blasted and mangled. I am thinking I would like to use a florecent green substance for the blood, innerds or goo. Whatever you want to call it that come out of a dead bug. I am looking for a product that goes on liguid and will then set hard. Comes in the color I want (no painting involved). Does such a product exist? Any thoughts? |

I would mix green paint with arcyrlic gel medium the gel medium is clear and will look liquid when dry |

You could also add some green dye, or paint to styrene cement – either the thicker stuff, or the thinner liquid, and then glue the pieces on to styrene bases with it. |

Hot glue gun? Epoxy resin glue? Mike Bunkermeister Creek

What about GW's Green Stuff? It would look odd without any painting. |

Hum you guys have me thinking about Elmers white glue and mixing it with Flo Green paint. I might also try the extra thick Arlines art glue. A white glue that is twice as thick as Elmers.
I will look into the Gel Medium as well. Thanks for some ideas! |
