[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by bobchuck</i> <br /><br />Dave, I'm not sure what you mean by household filler. Do you mean something like drywall putty? Thanks for the tip. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />That will be similar. We have a variety called PolyFilla, that is a general purpose household or repair gap filler of the 'old' non-plastic kind. A gypsum mix but with additives that 'hard-set' for permanence. Selleys make a range. <br /> <br />Its usually water soluble to a point and can be weakened to fill small gaps- of course curing time requires dryness/ heat to aid water dispersion and set. But I use it a lot for scenicing small bases (e.g. model soldier scenes), building up walls and contours on cardboard frameworks, and a 1000 and 01 other uses... and have just carried this over without a thought to model rr plans. <br /> <br />trust this helps explain, regards, davew <br />[8D]
