Like the title says. I'd like to try using this Vallejo Plastic Putty, ...just curious if anyone has any experience with it, perhaps some tips and suggestions on how to use it?

Thanks!

If you mean the stuff in the dropper bottle, it's useful as a filler and surfacer. The consistency is like watered milliput - a bit thinner than toothpaste, a bit thicker than paint. It's water soluble, and makes a good putty wash (for hiding scratches on surfaces). It does self level a bit, when applied with a brush. With a toothpick you can also tease it into gaps etc. When dry it can be gently sanded.

No good for sculpting though, other than as a surfacer.

Thanks winterdyne, my intent is to fill an arm gap (see attached photo). From what you are saying though, it looks like I might be better off just using GS?

Yeah, I'd use greenstuff for that. Don't get me wrong, it'll fill the gap in a few applications, but it doesn't work for doing ribbing.

Edit: What it can do (very well) is fill that seam between the torso halves. Apply it with a brush, let it settle a bit, then brush over it with a wide, soft, wet brush.

winterdyne - exactly the feedback I was looking for. Thanks a million bud.
