It's an epoxy putty, usually yellow and blue ribbons which you mix, hence green stuff. Cut off the desired amount and knead it until it's a smooth green colour. I'll discard any hardened bits that form in the middle where the ribbons are joined before I mix the parts, otherwise you'll get lumps. Working time is about half an hour, maybe an hour. Feels like hard rubber when it fully sets in 24 hours. Sticks to almost anything including itself (so you can do half a sculpt one day and finish it the next day by throwing more on). Vaseline or oil (even skin oils) will stop it sticking to any sculpting tools.
There are other modelling putty formulas out there but green stuff is a very good starting point.

The spider legs? As soon as I can get a Star Wars Spider Assassin Droid (or if I see anything better) I will. Saw one on ebay but I'm exploring all local options I can before I pay international shipping for such a small item.

Hey that's really good! It's amazing how many parts on the figure need filling in - I only noticed when I started customising my FOC Grimlock, and now I'm noticing it on all my figures.
Looking forward to more WIP pics!

Wow... this mould does work better as a female than a male; even moreso than the original TFP Deluxe Starscream mould. Hasbro really should use this to give us a TFP Slipstream (in mass retail thanx)
