Demogorgon by Gorka

After the model is assembled and the glue has had time to fully cure, I started filling in gaps in the model. This was done by using AK interactive modeling grey putty. Alternatively you could use green stuff, liquid green stuff or Vallejo plastic putty. I chose the Ak putty for its ability to be thinned with water.

First up I put some of the putty on a spare piece of card.

Next with a beat up brush or a brush dedicated for this work, I add a bit of water to the bristles (as if you were thinning paint) and then load my brush with some putty. I apply it straight to any gap. After the gap is filled I quickly rinse my brush and smooth out the area near the gap to easy the transition of the putty. With larger gaps I use little to no water and press the putty into the gap with the brush until its buldging out of the gap. Then i smooth out the area with a wet brush. After the putty has had sometime to dry some of the gaps may need a bit more. Just add more were needed at that point.

After everything is dry now its time to prime. I primed the model in three coats. This was done using and airbrush and black stynylrez surface primer. I prefer thinning my primer and doing very thin coats. A mix ratio that works for me is flow improve, primer, thinner in a 1:5:1 in that order. This is then shot at 20 psi. If you have your own method that works for yourself use that. This works very well for me as I live on the east coast of the United States and it is often very humid. Next update I will be working on painting the base.
