Seam Lines

If there is a major asembly gap, yes I will use Squadron white putty to fill it. Not common on new figures but some of the older ones needed it. Squadon also makes a nice dual ended tool for applying/sculpting putty. One end looks like a minature hockey stick, and the other a butter knife. Good for getting more precise applications in the tight areas of figures such as armpits and crotches.

Thanks all for the replies!  Does anyone use putties?  I do have a fine set of files, I will try those, and a X-Acto knife.

I like to use needle files for mold line and some assembly seam clean up on figures. A triangular and round needle file will fill most needs there. On the biggest offending assembly seams, I will use my various grade sanding sticks.

Generally, scraping them with your X-Acto knife is enough.. Might have to give some an occasional swipe with an orangewood (nail files) stick too..
