Hi to all the great model builders.. I admire all the work in the General Model section of this site..
I was wondering if anyone ever filled a seam on a painted part. After painting I have a small seam on the lid. I noticed that the fit in general was really tight after the parts were painted these Bandai kits are as everyone says a good fit. I just wondered if I wanted to fill the top seam if it was possible to use either a little super glue or Tamiya putty. Lightly sand a bit have every thing masked and repaint the Tamiya white. I know the best thing is to prime and fill but I thought I would get a better fit.. Or in this situation do you guy's strip the paint and start over? I was trying to paint some of this cutting down on the masking.
My plan is to start the R2 after this is finished and make a sand based diorama including a scratch jawa.. I just purchased a cloak on ebay and right now I'm looking for a figure that I can cut up sculpt or what ever fit in the cloak in the correct scale and with the face being so dark sculpt something and light the eyes. Well that is the plan I will see how it comes together.
I hollowed out the front pipes and found tape that looked better than the decals or more accurate than the provided decal.
Thanks!
Mike
Here is my start on R5
