Hey guys, still new to Pepakura. I used 200gsm paper and reinforced it with paper mache. Don't know how I can smoothen it... I was thinking of using powdered form wall filler mixed with pva glue, since I'm allergy to using resin... What do you think or any other suggestions?

Hell buddy... Thats some pretty awesome work there... and with paper mache!!! A big thumbsup from me.

I haven't forgotten about the alternative to bondo, still looking.

Hope to see Arkham Knight amongst those soon. ( I'll send you a pm a little later about that)

Keep up the good work!

stigmorgan: Thanks. Hopefully I can smoothen all of it and have it prep for paint.

If your paper mache is strong and stable, you can use spackle and sanding to smooth it. I made the mask below with paper mache almost 20 years ago and it's still as strong as the day I made it.

weaselflinger: Thanks. I have currently applied drymix all purpose putty. Hopefully it will hold. Will post images after I've smoothen it.

I've used baby powder mixed with white glue (Weldbond) and had good results, sands nice.

Hi jsher... Is there a certain ratio you use?

You can mix it to what ever consistency you like. Experiment a little to find the mixture you like.
Mixing it thicker is good for filling in nail holes and bigger. Easily sands and paints,I find.
