discussion novice modeler needs help

[Guest]

i enjoy working on models although i confess im not very good at it. can anyone please point me in the right direction for help in the use of putty to fill gaps, such as applying and sanding. i bought a couple of these new reissue "dan deals" kits and found that there are quiet a few gaps, i tried filling them with putty but clearly i dont know what im doing as when i finished you could tell that putty was used. any help would be appreciated.

Hi Crisco and welcome to the site,

I would certainly recommend checking out the tutorials part of this site or the Under Construction bit and you will find the answers you are looking for. If you are still stuck just shout and we will help.

Hi mate, I use squadren Green puty it dries in no time and sands perfectly. Most hobby shops sell it. If you get stuck i know a site that does mail order.

crisco there are a number of different techniques that can be used in diffeent circumstances, depending on the fault being corrected so to try to make the question a bit easier to answer could you let us know what type of situation you are talking about?

i.e. misalignement, small joint gaps, large joint gaps etc. etc.
