I just received my Forgeworld Iron Warriors Rhino Doors/Front Armor and I'm having a problem getting the front armor to fit, It seems that its way too small. I'm not sure why this would be and if anyone has any suggestions on how to make this work. The doors are a little to small but not enough to really notice. But the front plate leaves gaps. Any ideas?

Use the putty version of green stuff, or if its too noticeable, the straight lined plastic from sprues could fill up the gaps.

This is what I'm working with. I don't have that much experience with GS or LGS, I've used it for magnetizing but I've never used it for something like this. I'm not sure the sprue idea would work here.

The top part of the armor came like that. I purchased it off someone, and it looks like it either came from the factory like that or someone butchered it.

You coudl just roughen up the plastic plate where it joins the FW one and do some heavy weathering as if its sustained several millenia of poor maintenance.

Push putty into the gap along the sides and smooth it out so it is flush with the FW piece. Let it dry. The putty may shrink slightly so you may want to do a bit of touchup before you move on to painting.
