well as most of you probaly know i bought a large scale predator (26 inches tall) was woundering what kind of putty would be good for filling gabs and such?

I think GREENSTUFF would be the best for larger gaps, but for smaller ones, or imperfections in the model, I\'d use a product called GREEN SQUADRON PUTTY. Its a bit like toothpaste. You can make a sort of thick wash also to fill in pin holes or little bumpy areas.

Should be easily available.

on this ort of scale you can use thick super glue + accelerator. tthen you can file it really smooth. are you filling the inside with plaster of paris? that is what i used to do.

super glue then pour plaster into the model so 75% of it is full the stick the head on and keep it away from heat!!!!

I\'v had very bad luck with super glue. Use Vinyl Cement, Amberoid works well and should be available in hobby stores that sell vinyl kits. Squadren Green putty is your friend!
