Grace, I was just reading about the new Godzilla 2014 movie and then I see this! Nice!

For my son, I am using epoxy putty instead of modeling putty for large gaps. Fun to knead, roll, press in place and wipe excess off with water. Very little filing or sanding afterwards.

Regards,
 
Started painting! :good:

As this is the first kit she has tried using putty on the seams. I should have watched her more closely, she put on a nice thick coat. :eek:hmy: Took her a lot of time to sand most of it. Felt bad as she would lose interest after about 10 minutes of sanding. Hope she has it finished up soon (y)
 
Wow, forgot to update this :blush:

She finished it just before the County fair. (last summer)
