I might be late but why don't u get a diferent piece of ur sculpting material press that against the figure with chainmail, let that piece hardened and use that piece as a stamp

I think you can try the screen mesh from a window but im not 100% certain how it'll work

Yes it would be a reverse of the original piece of mail but I Can't see that it would matter really, either way you'll end up with a higher bit and a lower bit. I'd go with what Finn suggested though, in fact I kinda want to give it a go myself.

Wouldn't that give you a negative though?

I'd prolly either put loads of little holes in sculpting material or and this one is easier. cover the area you want with sculpt then take a piece of chainmail from another figure, wet it thoroughly then press it into the sculpt then remove, repeat till whole area is done

This tutorial is for minitures, but the technique should still work.




I've heard a blunted hypodermic needle works wonders for this techique.
