is that what they call masilya? the one they use to seal old bumps and scratches from cars? the pinkish sticky thing? if thats the one well im using it.. i tried it with my tamiya model car kit and it worked just fine. also did some experiment with it with my sd. for me there are some good points and bad points. good first. you can sculpt it after you are done. it sticks to the model kit quite well. paint also sticks after this is applied. bad now. its hard to control this. you need to apply very little amt so you wont damage the kit. 2nd some details like panel lines might be covered. tends to be be too think sometimes. although you can scrape back the panel lines anyway. 3rd. it makes the kit heavier. might ruin the balance of the kit.
IMO this is good for closing wholes and really big gaps. using this to close seam lines would be difficult and messy. possible but needs alot of practice.

thanks, snap_0714. i'm anticipating that i'll need to be really careful with panel lines and small details. my friends describe me as a little too particular with details so i think i'll not run into that much trouble with Bondo. it costs less per gram than tamiya putty so i'm thinking of investing in a tub.  as for making the kit a bit heavier, that's fine with me. i think this is a good thing especially with top heavy kits. we can place the bondo strategically in the feet and legs (paying attention to not sealing any moving parts) to make the kit more stable. |

putty is like a clay that hardens. used to remove the seam lines or for your own molding. it helps close the gaps of the plastic you see when you build your kits. or you can mold something out of it. hope this helps. hehe

yup. styrene sheets & putty.
Gundam kits looks great if the legs, thighs & arms are extended. the proportion is great.

Would Tamiya Basic Putty work for this kind of modification? any ideas, tips? |

@mervin: dude tamiya basic putty alone can't do that kind of modification, styrene sheets are a must if you plan to duplicate that...

Styrene Sheets are like thin plastic (polystyrene) that you can use on model kits. for modification purposes. no idea though how much it will cost. but i don't think naman it's that expensive. you can try JMN Hobby Store in Harrison Plaza or try Lil's and STC. maybe they have stocks. 
primer is best used IMO, if it's airbrushed or spraypainted. and yes, you can use thinner to clean the brush.
