Hard Plastic figures

[z1pp132002]

I have bought some figures from The Plastic Soldier Company and they have sink holes in the plastic. With what do you close the sink holes on hard plastic figures? Green stuff, liquid green stuff, putty ??

Thanks

there is liquid plastic filler available in model railroad stores, this should stick best
Alternatively You can buy acetone in the pharmacy and make Your own by throwing sprue parts in and waiting a few days

very small amounts of green stuff would be the easiest...

I think miliput makes a great liquid filler, it's more a paste in a tube.  I've had it for 10 years or so and it still works great.

If your local hobby store stocks Valejo products, you might try and get a dropper bottle of their liquid filler. It's white, dries pretty fast and is sandable when it's dry.

It's meant to be used for gap filling, but I've used it succesfully on much larger holes and the 'sinkholes' you mentioned...

If you can get it over your way try Humbrol model filler http://www.humbrol.com/model-filler-31ml-tube.html

You may find a version by Squadron green putty - they also do a white / grey version but I've not tried this.

A couple of points to note:

a) These stink of solvent.
b) They can melt models if the carrier separates into a thin clear liquid - use only the gritty parts and bin the tube ASAP
c) They can stick to anything - carpets / shirts / mouse mats - yup done the lot before now

I have never managed to completely use a tube yet.  I find they go hard or separate and then I buy another one as once it gets thick its next to impossible to use.

Sands and paints very well - a lot simpler to use compared to green stuff as it bonds better and is more fluid to mould / ram into cracks.

Works on metal as well by the way but can pop off if the model gap has smooth sides.
