Hi David The Mister Surfacer is a good idea. Sometimes I mix some Magic Sculpt and water into a slurry and brush on and into the pits and sand it off later. Be careful when you sand it off, whatever filler you use. I've exposed pits and holes that were under the surface by sanding to deep. Rhodes

Can't buy sable but you can buy and carry a hand gun True, but painting a tartan with a handgun only makes a mess. RWD

Cool-Mini-Or-Not sells a 5-minute epoxy putty https://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/tools-and-misc/instant-products/instant-putty.html I've never tried it and don't know it's properties. I'm not sure how you can mix and sculpt something in 5 minutes but maybe it can be mixed with a regular putty to...

I bet he was cute as a baby. RWD

You could use Brown Rose 803 for a coolish highlight or Light Brown 929 and/or Orange Brown 981 for a warmer highlight. RWD

I hate cleaning seam lines on really delicate areas like folds at the elbows, braid, hair or... FACES! Even worse, finding a seam I missed on a primed and half-way painted figure. RWD

Is that Mudflap Girl?

I could probably kit-bash a full figure if I could find all the pieces that have fallen into...THE CARPET OF NO RETURN. RWD

Except for a few touch ups, this is my latest. I picked this up from Model Cellar a few years ago. Its painting in acrylics. Rhodes

I have the disk, too. The chapters on color theory and light and shadow are worth the price for me. There is also a chapter with six or seven ways to blend with acrylic paint and some chapters on metalics, non-metalic metallics and special effects like blood, and rust. Check out the Gallery at...

[COLOR=blue][COLOR=blue][COLOR=blue] My vote was that I work on more than 1 figure at a time. That's true, but I usually concentrate on 1 figure. I always have a few figures "in the background" that I'm cleaning, prepping, priming, basing etc. and I usually have a few Rackham fantasy figures...

Home Depot has a spray primer made by Rust-o-leum called "Painter's Choice". Is leaves a very fine coat. And its CHEAP, around $3.00 for a large can. The primer comes in 3 colors white, a darkish gray and black. I use the white because it doesn't "dull out" the colors painted over it. RWD
