                        Hello Everyone!
                        My problem: The ugly seam lines you get when you assemble two like halves together, for example a conning tower. Anyone have suggestions on how to remedy this problem? Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

                        Sandpaper or sanding sticks (I use the nail type found in the cosmetic section of any drug/dept store), filler (putty, spot glazing, etc) and lots of patence.

                        I would answer your question myself but as I type this I see Tim is reading this thread as well. I'm sure he is typing out step by step instructions for you so I won't steal his glory. Just kidding Tim.

                        Ahhh, the nostalgia! With so many cast-in-resin and PE parts one hardly runs across a seam anymore.Sigh [sigh]
