To join pieces together without leaving gaps (like your pillars), I use Greenstuff or Milliput around the edges. When partly dry, it can be smoothed out, and when fully dry can be filed or sanded if required.

Seems so obvious in all truth. I use greenstuff and miliput on my minis all the time. Dont know why it didn't occur to use it on my terrain too. Will remember next time.

Really nice work as always. I like your comment and not everything going as planned and having the determination to get back to it. So true and important to look at projects with a new set of eyes sometimes.

Yeah haha I have a shelf in my studio which has a few projects for unfinished/on hold ideas. I'm pleased I finished these two experiments as they ended up much better that I thought. It has taught me to accept me mistakes and not be so precious about my work that I cant cut it in half and start again.

For filling gaps, I suggest you try Spackle. Its cheap (~tenner/kilo), hardens fairly quickly (~10mins), and you can sand it easy peasy, even carve it with an exacto, if you need.
@creativecuts78033 жыл бұрын
Cheers dude, as I understand it spackle is the US name for what is called filler in the UK. That is what I used and it did the job but is also very brittle and is prone to cracking particularly when applied to non porus materials like plastic. Thanks for getting involved though 👍👍👍

@@creativecuts7803 The German name of what I use is Fertigspachtelmasse (what else would it be) and there are a ton of different kinds, I found one that works great. Its made for exterior use, the interior stuff from the same brand is brittle upon hardening as well, and prone to shrink a bit, so it's no good. If you sand the plastic down, it gets a good grip though. Good luck finding the brand and kind that works for you.

@@creativecuts7803 You can also mix it with some Elmer's glue, or a similar cheap-o school paste to give the filler some more durability and to discourage cracking. I use that plus some local dirt to make my texture paste for my bases. It's very durable, especially if you seal it with some more watered down Elmer's glue.

Cheers dude, sometimes things don't always go to plan and that is also part of the building process. Most people edit out any mistakes but I think that sometimes it is from the mistakes that we learn the most.
