Your making way to much work for yourself. Couple tips you should use a tooth pick when putting on the putty its alot more accurate. Also drop the tamiya epoxy. Use CA glue with accelerator..
Put the glue on one side of the part hold the two parts together then spray you have an instant bond then apply putty then just sand.. You have no gap what so ever everytime if done right Another thing there is this puty from 3m its blue this stuff is very good might want to check it out.
yea you've inspired me to order a resin kit from hobbyfan.. is that were you get your kits?? i've been on there for a while looking at stuff.. for an entire year trying to figure out if im ready :P im currently working with polymer clay..
Hey. Your tuts are awesome, I'm really learning a lot in preparation for my embarking into this grand hobby! But a quick question: how do you remove the Vaseline from the side of the joint with putty on it without damaging the putty?
Just a tip, if your in a contry that can get milliput use it instead of the tamaya putty. It's cheeper and much more useable. Sand your going to stick the putty to with 100 grit paper then get the milliput wet (it can be used under water if needed), then do everything as in the video. When the peice is drying after say 30 mins, get your finger and wet it, then run it round the joint untill its perfectly smooth. you wont need to sand it if you get this right. :D
Just letting you know again that I'm really appreciating this. I haven't gotten much time to work on my figure yet, but I'm slowly but surely following along.
Just finished pinning. I had troubles when I accidentally drilled all the way through the figure at the neck area. I patched it up with some putty and sanded it smooth. I also drilled too big a hole on the neck area so I used epoxy glue to hold down the pin. Part 2 and part 2a really helped a lot.
Really thanks for that, I was looking tutorials videos because I want to start with my first kit, and again from Venezuela thanks. But when you going to upload the four video? I can't wait :)
I know I take forever bringing these silly things out! I should have finished them all then brough them out each week lol. I'm half way threw it so hopefully I will be done next week! Woot!
Very nicely done. This is the sort of quality I don't expect to see on youtube, but I've very pleasantly surprised. I can't wait to see you take this piece further along.
Good tutorial, i just got into the sport? of resin making and this guide has help me a lot. Thank you for that.

Why use Bondo ? It is Toxic & Flamable and it stinks up your work area....... Use Aves for every thing when it comes to resin kits.......

A tip for u.scratch the surface with a sharp tool and then apply the tamiya putty it will stick better.;D.

What kind of putty do you use? I know the one is bondo, but I couldn't tell exactly what the one is you use with the skewer.

Never mind. I'm a dork. That Tamiya stuff looks like it behaves better than Milliput though.
