I\'m doing some conversion work on my new ork warboss, and I thought that a mohawk would be unusual, yet orky. The only problem is that I have no experience of using greenstuff or any other modeling putty (other than for filling gaps) So if anyone could give me some advice on how to sculpt a nice mohawk I\'d be very happy.

Well I am pretty new at using it and the first things I have learned are to keep your tool and fingertips wet the whole time to stop the epoxy from sticking to them.
I would just make out the general shape, the big arc and just drag a sharp edge a bunch of time across the arch in the direction hair would go. I dont think it would be too dificult.

I think your best best would be to try and get the square shape to it first before you try any detail. Then when it\'s holding up well, poke the top repeatedly and use a tool with a sharper wet edge to make the lines that would be hair. It all depends how big you want it.. if it\'s really zoggin huge, you might want to use a bit of plastic to kep it up while sculpting. One more thing: A little greenstuff goes a long way! I used to cut off a bit more than usual for big stuff, and I still had some left over! Cut it small and add more later.

IMO I think that you should first consider doing something other than a traditional mohawk, orks not having any hair. A nice row of metal studs or spikes would look cool and be easy to acomplish with a piece of brass rod, a file and a pin-vice. Or perhaps a dorsal fin ala the Savage Dragon comic book hero. To do a regular mohawk you would probably best off making a thin ridge of putty down the center of the head, waiting for it to cure, then putting on a second layer into which you could scribe the hair. Your first layer gives you the basic shape and lends stability to the second layer. If you have it I suggest you use miliput to build your ridge. It is far more durable and less flexible than kneadatite, that will give you a stronger surface on which to work when making the hair.
Good luck.
