I do suggest trying to use alternate materials like styrene sheets because it's slightly easier to make shapes from and stronger. putty would still be neccesary, but you'd use those on the seams of the styrene to smooth it out rather than using it as the main build-up material
yea and to be honest with you as soon as i looked before i read your post i thought mine looked to high... but i have 3 sheets of styrene ans instead of trying to make my putty prfect go over the outside of the putty with the styrene for a flat surface
