        Just had a look, no mention of any, must have removed it. Thanks any way.
        Non-shrinking, easily sanded and lightweight filling material that has the same characteristics as foam.


        Thats the one I saw John.

        Not sure if it's the same, or any better than regular filler though

            I had a tub some time back and the consistency was a cross between whipped cream and soggy Dove soap by Ponds. Didn't know it could be used on foam and failed at puttying walls as it wasn't strong and could still be pushed in just like foam. I might still have it somewhere in my tool box and it's an American brand I think. Will experiment.

            Cheers,
            Wabble

              Perfection, how come I looked and couldn't find it ( don't answer :smiling: )
              Think with it being a foam type it looks very much like the stuff NS used. Think I'll have a punt and risk it . Using powdered filler is a messy way and it leaves a thin layer that you have to repeatedly wipe with a damp cloth. Appreciate you showing it Andy.:thumb2:

                Not happy with the building, or the layout, so going to start again . I'll put some photos up tomorrow showing what I've done. Want to have something different from my normal layout . The trouble is the size only allows a certain look . Pondering time .

                  Some photos to show why I want to start again. Basically the length is wrong, the M10 is far too near the ambush , firing any Panzerfaust at that close range would surely end up killing the those firing .

                    Shame John but that's how things go sometimes. It's not worth continuing with something that you know is not right. Deep breath and start again. The standard of your previous dios means only "excellent" will do.

                      As Jim says it’s a shame, the groundwork and building was really coming on Nicely too!

                      Hopefully you can salvage most of what’s been done and get it as you want it.

                        Replace the Panzerfaust in the soldier’s hands by a Hafthohlladung 3 kg:



                        That way, the soldiers are waiting in ambush to rush up to the vehicle to stick the charge on. The guys with the guns spray the M10 with fire so the crew ducks inside, the one with the shaped charge runs up to it, sticks it on, and earns himself one of these:

                          Shooting from the third floor leftmost window would give him some distance & lesson the chance of wounding his comrades.

                            Precisely Jim, just not worrying about . Will keep the base. It might make an appearance at some point. :smiling3:
                            Very kind of you to say , normal brown envelope in the usual place ?

                            Evening Si, it's not the end of the world , have to think of it as practice .
                            As I said to Jim I'll save the base and the building for another time .

                            Great idea, I've just found a kit as well from FOG models Hafthohlladung 3 kg: and in 1/35. Happy days :smiling2:

                            Another good idea Paul. With the new buildings I can do that .:thumb2:

                              John,
                              Some great ideas from the guys, as it would be a shame to loose that dio.

                                Yes indeed Paul .
                                Well It's only the base and building , the M10 and figures will stay.
                                Just finished the basic cutting out.
