If there's one thing I hate more than flash and mould lines is a miscast figure like this! And it's not like it's somthing you can easily ignore...half the shield is missing! So I decided to break out the greenstuff and try to remedy the situation! I could have used Miliput, but I thought this would be a good opportunity to get a bit of practice with the GS:
It's not the smoothest of finishes, but it should be good enough! I'll maybe keep track of this guy as I paint him and see just how well he integrates!
Good job with the putty. I've recently bought some horses with seriously misshapen legs, so much so that I bought some extra horses without riders to make sure I could still put the unit together. I'm not too fussed because up until now I have had excellent results and service from that particular manufacturer, but it was rather irksome. I don't have the modelling skill to try anything like this, though!

Yeah it was only a blip, but I didn't want to have to shell out for another pack and wait for delivery as I had exactly the right amount for 4 bases. I did have enough Essex for another base but I prefer to have the units homogenous, so putty to the rescue! It is really invaluable stuff! :)
