FILLING GAPS

The ugly truth about assembling any multiple-piece model is that gaps are impossible to avoid. Occasionally, a piece will fit in such a way that a massive gap results. This gap is a bad thing, especially if you plan on devoting a chunk of time to painting the model nicely. In these situations, you're going to have to fill that gap with some putty. This process really isn't all that tough. Just take your time.

Stage 1 Stage 2

This gap is going to show after you paint the model.

Roll a very small line of putty to fill the gap.

Stage 3 Stage 4

Carefully lay the putty along the gap.

Jam the putty into the gap with the sculpting tool.

Stage 5 Stage 6

Go back and scrape off excess putty.

Smooth the area with your finger and some water.

Stage 7 Putty Tip

This gap has been filled nicely.
