The Last Guardsmen Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 So back from the dead I creep with a question for you my fellow hobbyists. Whats a good way to gap fill on a flat surface? For example a hull made from a cut down Landraider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Plasticard is the way forward! Check out FanBoy Forge's custom work done by Ordo's Scott. Plasticard provides a better flatter surface than trying to greenstuff and then sanding flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PourSpelur Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I've had good results with Miliput. Squish it in there, wait 15, take a garbage big brush, wet in water and brush across. The Miliput is water based so the excess comes off with water. I like it for organic shapes too for the same reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 You want a filler. I recommend either Squadron putty, great but toxic vapors or Vallejo Plastic putty, schmear it on, let it cure overnight, sand it with fine sandpaper.

splinx Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I totally misinterpreted the initial question! I also recommend the Plastic Putty from Vallejo! Very awesome stuff for small gap filling. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Guardsmen Posted January 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Thanks for the input guys. Here's a shot of the tank itself: http://imgur.com/H0PxdZG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 OK, given all the Land Raiders I saw converted from Russes in basically the reverse of that back in the day before the LR got a kit, that's kind of hilarious to see ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Guardsmen Posted January 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Thanks. Stumpy steals the spot light every time some one sees my army for the first time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Bungalow Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I would recommend magic sculpt or some other product that is? 1. water soluble. 2. Sandable and 3. Non Shrinking. (I will echo Scotts recommendations also) For flat gaps I mix up just over what I will need to fill the gap, apply with water, let set for about a minute, shave with some flat surface like the edge of a slotta base, check and fix any fissures, let dry and finally sand with a small square of fine grit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
