Well you do go faster with a broken body because of the lose of weight but if you really want putty go to your nearest hobby store. Hobby lobby doesn't have it. It is called epoxy putty. That is the most common name. Good luck

My hobby lobby carries it, maybe just not your local. They carry the testors brand.

The best putty to get in my opinion is the Tamiya Quick Type. You can get it at many different places, but here's a link (http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdId=TAM87051&utm_source=froogle) to what I'm talking about at HorizonHobby.

I found some Tamiya Epoxy Putty (smooth surface type) at my local hobby store. I had never worked with the stuff before and I got GREAT results. Takes a little while for it to cure properly, but it's easy to get the shapes you want with a little bit of care and patience.

Jameslew: no you can't get it there.

You might find putty on Tamiya.com Last time i checked they were discontinued but you never know.

Your best chance is at a hobby store. I have putty made by a company in texas called squadren.

Why not just buy some 'Bondo'?

Bondo is too hard to make things easily at this scale.

If you have a hair dryer, use it to help cure the putty. ;) Just keep the plastic parts a good 10 inches or so away from the thing.. Otherwise you'll have to rebuild parts in putty that you let melt while drying the putty :lol:
