To make it simpler for all those who are not into modelling
There are two types of minitaures; Plastic and metal.
Plastic looks grey, and metal looks silver.
Then there is putty, which is green.
Putty is used to alter any model. You remove an arm on the original model, and sculpt a new arm using putty.
So everything that is green on a model (before paint is added) are pieces that are handmade by the creator.
