Any recommendations for a decent filler .

Just re-read this thread and realised no-one, me included, had mentioned the magical combination of milliput and isopropanol (IPA).

If you make a well in a small piece of milliput and fill it with IPA, the milliput will slowly dissolve into a wonderfully compliant thin filler, with consistencies from a thin wash to a meaty gloop, and everything in between, depending where you take from in your little well.

The IPA can also be applied to neat milliput on the model to smooth its surface and even dissolve and remove unwanted excess.

The only downside is the need to make up the two part putty in the first place, and the wastage. Apart from that, it's fantastic.

Didn't know that you could do that with beer and milliput Paul. LOL

Joking apart, a good tip and new to me.

Oh, and get some of those rubber-tipped sculpting tools - perfect for manipulating filler once it's (nearly) in place. They're called Colour Shapers, by Royal Sovereign.

Great tip on the milliput Paul.
