What filler

Post by Kevthemodeller »

What's the best filler to fill small gaps around arms/necks etc?

Ideally what could be smoothed using water save too much sanding and damaging the surface detail, if that's possible?

Hi Paul

Is that water smoothable? I'm not sure that's even possible but if it was it would be ideal.

I like Perfect Plastic Putty. What's the name of the Vallejo product you used?

I normally use humbrol, but having read that britmodeller thread I think I'm going to get some Vallejo putty!
