You can buy Green Stuff at some Yellow Submarine stores, from Games Workshop direct (www.games-workshop.co.jp) or over the internet.
http://fullmetalplanet.biz/shop/tool/tool.html sells a variety of different products, or you can try Wayland games (the link is at the bottom of every page, and part of the money you spend there is sent back to us to fund this website).

I will look through my bits box and bring the pieces you asked for to the games event on the 28th in Kamimaezu if you can make it down.

Yes, as I said I have a dremel tool so it probaby won't be a problem, just a matter of how skilled I am.
All I need now is some files, more glue, a hand drill and paper clips.

I am also interested in green stuff, do you buy it over the net or is there anywhere I can get it here?

Bits I would like to buy if anyone has spares:
Thunder hammer x1
Storm shield (the big one from terminator assault sergeant) x1

Mate, I have one of each. I will pass them onto someone to give to you.

@pikey: is a cheap router alright for minis? Ive never used one, and have been put off by the cost of a decent quality one. I quite fancy it, though - the possibilities seem endless...
current (2019) hobby interests
eh, y'know. Stuff, and things

Wow. And then Corona happened. Just....crickets, all the way through to 2023...

Mine was only about a grand. It is a battery powered model that was specifically labelled as a hobby version rather than industrial grade. The pic onthe box showed omeone using it to cut patterns in glass.

For geek applications I find it really helps with finishing as I mentioned and makes chopping off heads etc a breeze. Plus with the various attachments you usually get, you can get into places you can't with files etc.

You could even use it for one of it's primary uses, that is scoring patterns on hard surfaces, for example glass. I'm not a good enough sculpter/artist to experiment with that aspect but it could easily be done.

Thank you Sir! I will be at the games the 28th.

Cheers! I only need 1 of each so I'll gladly buy from either you or Primarch.

I looked at many models when I bought mine, first I thought about getting a battery powered one which was around 2000 yen, but was worried that It wouldn't be powerful enough to cut metal so I got a little bit more pricey one with a cord for about 5000 yen with lots of heads.
I brought it home and tried it on an empty tuna can and it worked great, like Mike said it can be used to score patterns on different surfaces like glass, just make a paper template, put it inside the glass, follow the template and voila. (maybe not that simpe but thats what it says on te back of mine..)

No need to pay for them mate, they are yours :)

But chances are, you'll see Prim before you see me as I am a bit of a gaming hermit and am only seen in public on the rarest of occasions.

You could always make the trip to Nagoya yourself and get some quick and easy, 500 point games of 40k in?

There's no reason to hide away in Yokkaichi, the Nagoya gamers don't bite.

Dont concern yourself too much. Unless you have something against the standard red-miso taste most Nagoya gamers have. :lol:
