Are you having problems with the unsightly gaps left behind with most figures?
Have you figured out a way to fill those gaps in relative ease?
Do you find blending a daunting task?
What about sanding in those hard to reach areas, do you have the necessary tools to do it convincingly, without loosing details?
If you answered yes to any of the above, allow me 13 minutes of your time today. I believe this 13 minutes or so will save you an inordinate amount of time in the future
I don't do figures! Cool
Unfortunately you are not thinking outside the box.I am learning every day and continuously strive to improve our methodology to make some of the mundane and often daunting tasks more pleasurable. Without being conceited, although my short term memory is not what it use to be, it is like a sponge. I see and hear comments from folks etc... and quite often see myself capable of finding a plausible solution to some of these comments. This is one of them, especially for you bird builders out there. All you have to do is watch

For the folks that might be frightened with the word "acetone" it is nothing more than nail polish remover, available anywhere. In this application it permits a faster drying time for the spotting putty, allowing you to go over needed areas within 15-30 minutes. It doesn't shrink as much, and doesn't harden as much as Tamiya putty, making sanding a breeze without affecting detail, and that is important. Not only that, it has the uncanny ability to go where it is needed because it is somewhat more malleable than Tamiya putty. Folks don't like using Mr Surfacer, can't say I blame you. This may very well be a solution for you. Why do I say this? Because it seems folks have a hard time saying Mr Surfacer without gagging for the lack of a better word.
Thinking outside the box you may find other areas to apply this technique, and if you do, I have done my job
I have several small gaps on my Challenger 2, I will be employing this technique there 1st hand, and will be shooting it live.There is an old saying many minds are better than one
I only combined 2 great ideas and regurgitated the info provided by Coen and Coladito. That is what this community is all about, sharing information. With sharing this community will grow, our skills will improve and perhaps, just perhaps, continue to provide folks with the means to think outside the box.Thanks for watching/listening. Switcher signing off.
