How to Fill Space Marine Shoulder Pad Gaps: Lil’ Legend Miniatures Tutorial
He’s going to show two different quick techniques to get rid of the gapping, so let’s see how to do it!
Technique #1:
He starts with the Tamiya Extra Thin Cement, isopropyl alcohol, and some putty (but only needs the Tamiya for this technique). First, he dabs some of the extra-thin cement into the seem and over the top, making sure to cover everything. And that’s really it for this technique!
This is super simple but could leave a little bit of a line when you primer it. So, if you want to go a step further, we’ll try the other method.
Technique #2
He takes some Milliput, mixes it into a ball, and then pours a little alcohol on top. He mixes it, and it turns into somewhat of a soup; he then glides that over the top and smoothes it out with his hand. Another somewhat simple way, and in the end, you shouldn’t have any issues with gapping!
That’s just two super simple and quick ways to get rid of those annoying seem lines! If you dont like either of those, you can always try using some Vallejo Plastic Putty as well.
