I've tried mixing in different comination and avoid the contact point between the yellow and blue due to it already being cured but nothing seems to help. Advice would be much appreciated


just cut out a couple of mm each side of the contact point, problem solved.

I've had fairly good luck with wood glue as a gap-filler. You have to wipe off any overflow as it's drying, or else file it off later, but it dries really strong and is incredibly cheap, and you can paint over it with no problem.

@fisher001: yeah, funny you should mention that; I discovered that by accident the other day. as an experiment, I used white glue to fill in the upper gap (where the head will go) between the front and back torso bits. it seems to have worked fairly well, though there's still the suggestion of a gap there. definitely easy to work with, though, as it seems to be self-leveling. I think for out-of-the-way gaps this works pretty well. for stuff that's more visible (e.g., top plate of the jump packs) I think I'd have to do multiple layers to get a flush surface. I try it out on one of the jump packs and then compare it with the GS'd version I've already done.
