Thanks to A'u'nat for this

Alrighty then, assuming that you have done some reading of the basics, I am going to show you a neat little project that anyone can do to make a model more appealing!

Step 1: I took my archer and assembled him as normal, then I placed the High-Elf Cloak on his back (I think the box set comes with four of these.)

Step 2: I then mixed my putty following the basics rules and applied it to the top of the cape. I decided to make the fur a piece of hanging cloth at the top rather than a complete fur cape...I'd make my complete fur cape for my characters. The thicker you lay the Green, the more "Furry" your Green will look. After I stuck it on, I smoothed away my finger marks with the back of my exacto-knife with a bit of water on the back.

Step 3: Now came the fun part! I started stabbing it a million times with a needle to model the fur. Start in a small area and work your way around the model. The more you stab it, the finer the "fur" will become.

Step 4: The final step was easy...I just continued to poke it up until I got the look of fur I wanted for the model. I then placed it aside to dry.

There, in four easy steps you have a unique model. I believe that the entire project, including mixing, took me about 15 minutes.
