It's beginning to look like an American Berkut.

Yes, I saw that too. I'm not sure if that's the impression I want ,so it's time to put the thinking cap back on and see what falls out.

It looks like a stealthy Berkut. Perhaps do it in Russian markings? Gloss black all over, with red stars. Alternative PAK-FA?

But, it could be an American Berkut, after all.  Nothing wrong with that.  Could use a very deep gray (near-black) scheme with those light grey American stencil markings maybe so it purposely looks like America's answer to the Berkut (which, in WhiffWorld, could have ended up as an extreme success).

Milliput should be renamed Milliconcrete. I've never worked with before, so I slathered it on. Now I'm having to use my Dremel tool with a diamond tip attachment to sand it down!

I've always found Milliput quite workable, but I guess it depends on what you're used to.  Glad to see you've picked this up again Eddie!

I guess I expected something along the lines of filler putty. At least I should be able to get a very fine finish out of it.

It's probably a daft question, but have you given it long enough to cure properly?  It tends to 'snag' a bit if it's not yet fully dry, I generally leave it overnight.

The nice thing with Milliput is that before it dries, you can rub it down with your finger and some water, to get a nice smooth finish. Takes a bit of getting used to, but you can avoid most of the sanding that way.

[John Howling Mouse]

Yep, it's concrete once fully cured.  Basically the same as much cheaper plumber's epoxy.

Good work and very interesting idea.

Thanks Mossie. I'm trying to get my hands on as many of the WIP models and do as much as I can for now.

I let it cure for 2 days just to make sure it cured, and cure it did. Boy Howdy!!

Thanks for the heads up. I will definitely use that idea the next time I use it.

Plumber's epoxy will be on the next shopping list. Thank you!

Thank you very much!!

Can anyone tell me if filler putty works over Milliput? I've gone too far to make a mistake now.

[Mossie]

Yeah, I've used Humbrol Model Filler over Milliput, never had any problems.
