Where did you get your green putty?? Also what type of glue are you using?? I found Testors didn't work very well.. Basic questions I know, but don't forget I'm the newbie on this work.. lol

We all have been wet behind the ears at one time.    To answer your questions

Squadron Products  Green putty. I bought it at HobbyTown in Brandon( MacDill East). I sure most hobby shops sell it or just go to their website to order. I like it because its more like using bondo, especially when I am filling in seams and gaps. The other putty I was using is good but this spreads better.

For Glue I mainly use Plastruct Bondene. Which is made for Styrene and ABS plastic. You apply it to both pieces that your gluing. Let it soak in. Then reapply and stick them to gather. What it does is loosens up the plastic and makes it soft. When you stick the two pieces to gather it welds the plastic.  It works real good with the material that shapeway uses for the Mario's coupler mounts.
