Wow another new mod Gundam Head, but can I ask what happen to your other mods like the meteor unit? I was looking forward to that kit to be finished. Well anyway thanks for the tip about the torso joint I asked you before, keep up the great works, I hope I can finish my mods in my kit so I can post it here too.

Can I use any industrial epoxy putty for plastics if I can find some or if there's another brand like Tamiya or My. Hobby?

I am trying to mod a lower leg part of my kit but I don't know what kind of putty I'm going use, It's very hard to find modelling supplies in the Philippines due to lack of Hobby shops.

Is Tamiya Epoxy Putty Quick Type/Smooth Surface safe to use on Gundam kits, I mean will it make the plastic "chewy like" if used in large quantities?

Assembly/Scratchbuilding / 3 jointed torso

Hi its me again, I just want to ask how can you make a good jointed torso, I'm having difficulties in planning were to put the ball joints, some of the pictures in Whitebase modifications in his 1/144 kits are kind of hard to follow cause lack in visual guides and instructions. If anyone posted the same question before I will appreciate it if you link it to this post. Advance thank you.

It's a Gundam Deathscythe Hell Custom 1/100 HG. I was modifying it to have a torso joint and articulations for its shoulder. I was trying to replicate Whitebase modification in his 1/144 scale Gundam D-Hell as posted below.

This is the chest areas that's gotten chewed up, I've kind of carved it off and make it square shape.

I'm new in trying to modify a gundam kit, I've panicked a little and removed the all the putty, but now the chest part has a huge hole on it, can I use ordinary household epoxy and sculpt and use it to close the gaping holes on it?

In my country its difficult to search a modelling shop to buy tools and materials, so can I know what ordinary items I can used that wont melt my plastic kits.

Yesterday I bought a Tamiya Putty (basic type) the I applied a few amount inside the chest area trying to bond together the connector part to it, then I left it overnight, while I was checking it this morning the chest part melted a little but its visible, the melted part looks like its "chewy". What will I do to remove the melted part?
