discussion Filler putty query

[Guest]

As I've increased to a higher level of modelling I'm beginning to use 'MMD' green putty. I used it mainly for small gaps etc., but the problem I have found is that I wanted to alter the 'berries', 1:35 scale, of the figures. I tried to make a small, flat runner of putty so that I could wrap it around the berry and when dry, sand it to the shape it want. Straight away I found that this putty was no good.

I've seen in the magazines of putty been rolled flat, i.e. to make a tarpaulin. This I wanted but to a mush scale but the same principle.

Can this be done with 'milliput' putty or do I use something different?

How do I get photos from my 'pictures' on my computer to 'attachments'?

Milliput or Duro is the stuff you need, it's a modelling putty as opposed to a filler. It's a 2 part epoxy based putty that you mix by hand and it takes a few hours to set, when it does it's rock hard. While it's still pliable you can thin it slightly with water

Thanks, I'll order some 'Milliput'.

I've attached 2 photos - eventually. I haven't done this before and don't really need them but I had to try. I will have the same trouble with others as I found it very difficult.
