Been slowly getting the windows glued up and first coat of primer on.
Decided to try Night Shifts method of using Tamiya thin to coat the foam board , insted of wall filler.

Seems OK but the smell means I have to keep the cave door open , can't see this working in the cold weather.

do I apply another coat of Tamiya.

Thanks for looking in,comments wellcome .

Have decided to start all the buildings again, not please with the filler I've tried on the foam board. Very much a learning experience. So back on the net to 4D model shop for another purchase of board and Styrofoam.
The Tamiya filler didn't work well on the board , if however I'd used Styrofoam it might have been better, can see its use, but on Kappa Line its just not right. Live and learn !

Shame it didn't work John but "Nothing ventured, nothing gained".

Indeed Jim, still I managed to learn and had a lot of practice cutting up the board .
Have ordered from 4D some white Styrofoam, very smooth. Enough to give quite a few 5 mm thick sections if I slice it up.
Also some chepo 5 mm foam board for backing .
