:Tamiya1:I know almost evereyone has paper towels or napkins, so here's a tip I came across by experiment. If you want to modify a body and you do'nt have anything to apply your filler to here's a good tip. Let's say you want to cut the headlights on a King Hauler. Cut your paper towel or napkin bigger than your hole. Next place the material on the inside of the hole. Next super glue the corners. Next place a drop of glue here and there until it is soaked. And the last step, let dry. I use bondo for my body work so I know it works. :dance:

Hi!!

I am actually brand new to these types of modifications and was needing some "how to" advice on filling the holes after cutting the King Hauler's headlights out. Would the same type of process apply with styrene sheets? Or should I use paper towels instead?

I have 1mm and .5 mm styrene sheets but if I go either route, sheets vs. paper towels, how would you recommend doing it? I can't seem to find out how. I've seen some pictures and have an idea but with this being my first time, pictures don't do justice right now.

Any advice would be appreciated! ;-)

Thanks,

Mike
