- Depends on the subject and the materials of the subject. I'm currently doing
- scale cars exclusively, and I've been using the familiar Squadron green putty.
- It's awfully dry, though, and I can't seem to sculpt it as well as the epoxy
- that I occassionally use. It also dries kinda soft.
-
- I find Squadron green putty to be a very good putty. What I do is mix
- it with Testors liquid cement. This gives it a better consintency,
- helps it to bond with the plastic, and gives a nice hard surface. I
- also do this when I putty gaps in my white metal models. My only
- complaint with Squadron green is its coarseness. Squadron has a new
- white putty which is supposed to have a finer grain. I bought a tube
- of Squadron white, but I haven't tried it yet.
