                        Good evening everyoneSmile [:)], hey Roosterfish, you need to move down here in Texas I got that putty u mentioned and paid $1.56 4 the 4.5 oz tubeYeah!! [yeah]! Anyhoo Since u were so nice I am going to take a chance and show u what I have done and my stuff, of course any and all r welcome to look but plz remember I am new, I have built a whopping 3 models and here they areShy [8)]. I guess what I want to know is; does it look like I have a chance to even get close to the skills that all u masters have attained. I built these during the past few months. Have just started Tamiya 1/350 Yamoto, got a A C B-25 in 1/48 waiting but I just have to know what u guys think so I will know if I should keep on truckin' or surrender gracefully and find another art to follow. The reason there r so many pics of the spray booth is cuz I got carried away and showed them on a forum 4 a "plenium hood" question,(a little ahead of myself methinksDisapprove [V]).Blush [:I]. http://inescaleodels.fotopic.net/

                        Hey Aviator! This is too weirdLaugh [(-D], I swear I was just reading your post about your being too perfectionist when I checked mine to see if I got an answer, LOL. Thankyou very much 4 your kind words, means alot 4 sure!
                        my first post was about sanding putty, a question of courseSmile [:)]. Anyhoo, I was using thick super glue but it gets too hard 4 me and I would be in danger of sanding too much surrounding plastic no matter how careful I was. I have been advised to use putty. A thing I use is silver paint to see defects, it does not leave brush marks (at least not yet) and real easy to remove if u want with 0000 steel wool,and really shows up the defects! I am going way out on a limb saying this cuz I don' t know jack compared to all these big guys. Anyhoo, ur ? was about perfection, Y not be as perfect as u can be as long as it doesn't take away from havin' funBig Smile [:D].

                        I agree.
                        You got the attitude and skill of becoming a full scale modeler.
                        I think your work is outstanding for a newer modeler and I cant wait to see more of your work. One good modeling rule I heard from someone on these forums (credit given) is the rule of the five P`s.

                        P.P.P.P.P
                        Persistent Practice Prevents Poor Performance.

                        As for your superglue method of filling seams. I agree that once fully dried, it becomes a little hard to sand efficiently. Working with superglue as a filler is about timing, you have to sand it while its still not compleatly cured and hard as a rock. Yup, putty is a great thing.

                        The basics like removing flah from pieces and fitting everything well will make any model shine with a decent paint job.
                        Patience is the key to building great models as well as utilizing certain modeling techniques that you will learn through experience.
