A quick and easy tutorial on how to make decent sandbags from green stuff.
You'll need:
You'll need:
- 4-6" of Green Stuff
- Modelling knife/ Stanley Knife
- Pot of water to make sure your fingers/work surface don't get stuck to the green stuff
- Sieve/ Strainer/ Metal Gauze/ Netting
Step 1: Grab your green stuff and mix it together until you can no longer see and yellow or blue streaks.
Step 2:
Roll your green stuff into a long thin cylinder about 8" in length and 1/4 - 1/2" in diameter.
Step 3: Grab your knife and cut the green stuff into 1/2" chunks:
Step 4: Flatten out the chunks and round off the edges. Use the side of your thumb to rub off any fingerprints.
Step 5:
Using the knife score a line into the edges of the bags.
Step 6:
Grab your sieve
Press the gauze gently into the top of all the sand bags. This gives them a nice material texture. The finer the netting of the gauze the more realistic it will look.
The Final Result:
Looks half decent and doesn't cost a lot. Use them on bases, heavy weapon emplacements, defence lines or anywhere else!
clever stuff!
