So the steps go like this
1. Spray primer >> see defect
2. Start applying putty to defects and unwanted gaps (will the paper hold ?, does the primer make the paper harder so it d be easier to applying putty? )
3. Sand excess putty (if step 2 went well)
4.1st Mr surfacer > w8 dry then sand (with what types of sanding paper tell me )
5. Repeat step 4 two more times
6. Last sanding
7. Apply prime coat for painting (or not ?, after step 6 will it already enough to start painting?)
8. (optional) sell the thing on ebay for gazillion dollars

I don't know how hard your model is, primer will not change it so much.. And about how many layers of surfacer you need, you will se it, and don't sand last layer of surfacer, it is smooth enough. You can also, after sanding surfacer, spray normal primer over it and next Day you can start paint process.

These are amazing. It makes me sad though, since I have neither the skill to make things like this nor the money to buy models of this quality.

You have earned some intense jealousy from me, friend.

Wait... Polygamy doesn't mean Polish Marriage? Then why they start with the same 3 letters and confuse me like that?

Current progress on my clan Wolf unit Sadly I've got only 4 clan mechs, so I must build one more after I finish all my projects.

Could you build a mech with 4 legs and 5 arms? You sure have enough pieces for that

Omg. I want a Timber Wolf and Shadow Cat so bad... is there any way you can post the plans to make one? Plzzzzzzz.

Hi, glad you like them:) Timberwolf is costom build, base is MW4 one, I will do plans for it but this will take time.. Shadow Cat is first mech I made from scratch, I have plans for it but they are not porfect and final mech will not look like mine, I've made some modification after assembly. I can send those plans to you though, just PM me your @. I'm not gonna upload them anywhere in that state..

Why the lore friendly color scheme ? I'd probably paint mines with some flashy colors. Get some bright yellow and orange and do the "asimov" style.
