| First round of gap filling with Perfect Plastic Putty plus adding styrene trim. |
For me, smoothing and finishing a sectioned shell is a rather lengthy process of filling gaps, smoothing with sanding sticks, papers, and files, priming, and repeating the process until the shell looks more-or-less seamless. This is the process I followed with both Variation #3 and the Jigger.

The problem here is it's the dead of winter and spraying primer outside is out of the question, and I don't spray paint inside the house, so further work on the body is going to have to wait for spring to arrive.



Though our California winter weather is much more mild than the frigid conditions you endure, I still feel your pain. What would be great is a nearby heated maker space with a paint booth.
ReplyDeleteThere's likely one around here, but working on the seams is a long, slow process - well, it is for me anyway.
