Vallejo - Plastic Putty 18 ml (0.6 fl.oz.) | White, Opaque, Consistent Finish

A excellent alternative to Tamiya putty, water base instead of solvent based.

I am a modeling begginer and this is the first time I used this putty. I don't have a comparison to share. However, I found this very easy to use. It does shrink a little when it dries and I needed to use a second application to get it to hide a gap. It cleans off well with water. I found that letting it dry some before cleaning is helpful to keep from gouging out putty with my damp cotton swab. I'll stick with it because it's easy to use and works.

Good stuff for model making. Can't go wrong!

A good product but only four stars because, as I tend to assemble model kits over a period of time and not all at once, I've discovered at first blush this seemed to be a really good fit for me. I filled a few small gaps and then put the tube away for some months and when I went to use it again the material was thick and hard to squeeze from the tube. Lots of resistance, it appears the putty had partially dried in the tube. While still workable it takes some effort to get it from the tube. I prefer this over the Tamiya putty mainly, because it is water soluble and easier to work. I am going to have to rethink future use of this filler. If this putty is going to dry in the tube after a short period of time. I may switch to the smaller amount so if it dries I won't have lost so much in terms of use.

I think I have found the right putty for my modeling needs. Easy to apply, cleans up with water, dries fast, and sands smooth. I highly recommend this product.

Perfect for seams and imperfections in surfaces

Works well on ceramics village houses

First off, this does not dry stone hard as advertised. Instead, it dries quite rubbery and a little flexible. This makes total sense upon closer inspection of the ingredients: acrylic resin and marble dust. Essentially, this is a tiny bottle of acrylic modeling paste and performs very similarly. So if you were looking for a liquified version of an epoxy putty like Milliput, this will not perform to your expectations, but if you are looking for a smaller container of modeling paste and are familiar with how to use modeling paste, then this is what you are looking for. It should also be stated that, like many modeling pastes, the sandability is very, very moderate. You must use ultra fine sandpaper and a gentle touch, and even then, it’s gummy to sand and can easily peel away. I think it would be safer to skip sanding and instead get it as smooth as you can on your model before it dries. If you’re planning to use this as a filler product, be extra diligent in wiping away the excess before it dries so you won’t need to sand later. Also, like acrylic modeling pastes, any additional water contact will soften and remove it, so keep that in mind if you are a hobbyist that washes your models between prepping and priming. It does excel at relief sculpting (it paints on wonderfully for tiny veins on people and animal figures) and is great for texturing hair, mud, etc. Bear in mind it will shrink a bit as the water evaporates, so be prepared for two passes of application if needed. I think for the price and size of the bottle, you’ll get a better deal buying a jar of modeling paste from an art store, but if you only need a little bit, then this is good for relief sculpting and texturing. As a liquid putty though, if rigidity and sandability is needed, it is probably best to avoid.
