Building SD Alex 2/9 (filling and covering holes)

In the last "Building SD Alex" video I covered some destructive methods like sawing and drilling. But what should you do if you overdo it and what would you do if you discover annoiances like one-sided weapons or holes in your model kit (often found in the SD, NG and HG line by Bandai).

Its a common issue and so I show what I do to cover up this junk. Included are techniques like filling s. th. up with putty or epoxy putty or covering it with plaplate (PS pieces).

The kit is (again) BB #273 Gundam RX-78 NT-1 Alex model kit by Bandai.

My (not very helpful) assistant is Kururu from the Kururu Robo model kit from Bandai.

I hope you like it and comment on what to improve or what you like to know.

how if useing Mr. hobby "mr. white putty"?? do you need to mix it with other putty??? thanks

[lhasarus]

@ayamcupu

I never used Mr. White Putty but I wouldn't mix it with other puttys because they mostly use different thinners which will cause a big mess if you mix it...

[gundamexia95]

after u mix the epoxy putty and it is still soft y u take off your glove and do it?is it safe

[lhasarus]

@gundamexia95

After that I used tools to form it and didn't touch it any more.

[pattyboy1001]

what is the difference between the smooth type and the quick type

[lhasarus]

The name says it. One results in a better surface and the other cures faster. I prefer the smooth one.

hey, i never thought about using epoxy to make the gundam figures more complete, although, i no longer build gundams, great idea though.

[jayko657]

how come you only used 1 glove while mixing the epoxy?

[jayko657]
