Well as a new builder I mess up on alot of things and one mistake that I made that really bothered me of creating this small gap between this character's thighs, this has been bothering me for quite some time, I originally thought of putting paint over it but I would need to obvious buy paint for that will it work? or anybody has a solution to this problem?
Sorry, your image link doesn't work, so I can't see your figure.
I'd have to ask some questions first:
- How big/what scale is this figure?
- What material is it made from-metal, resin, or styrene?
My solution would depend on those things.
For example, for metal or resin figures, I'd likely use a 2-part epoxy putty. Aves Apoxie Sculpt is the brand I use, but there are others.
For a styrene figure, depending on the size of the figure and the size of the gap, I'd use either bits of styrene, like sprue or pieces of styrene sheeting (eg Evergreen), stick them in the gap, then flow liquid styrene cement over the gap. Or I'd use a putty, like Squadron white, or Perfect Plastic Putty, to fill the gap. Once the filler has cured, then it can be sanded or filed to match the surrounding contours.
Regarding the Squadron putty, it has a lot of detractors these days, but I have never had a problem with it.
As far as covering the gap with paint is concerned, that probably will not work. That is, the gap or seam will likely still be visible, after you paint it.
Hope that helps!
Best regards,
Brad
