Sculpting Capes and Robes

Join Siege Studios for an in-depth, one-hour masterclass focused on creating realistic fabric elements for your miniatures through sculpting techniques and putty work. This session will begin with a brief introduction to the tools, sculpting materials, and putty mixes used throughout the demonstration, along with guidance on preparing and handling putty effectively. The team will also demonstrate how to work with putty on glass surfaces to achieve smoother results and improved control while sculpting. During the class, you’ll learn how to sculpt robes onto a Space Marine miniature and create a single-stage cape, with step-by-step guidance on making putty resemble naturally draped fabric. The session will also cover how to create convincing folds, flowing movement, and wind-swept effects to add realism, motion, and character to your sculpted details.
