I just bought some tamiya basic putty and I dont know how to use it, this is the first time i start using putty. Im gonna try and make a bodykit for my Skyline R-34. Does anyone know a how-to or a tutorial page of how to use putty?

i just to started using putty, but i have been using similar stuff alot. putty is simple.
to make a body kit, take thin styrene and make a lower lip and that stuff, that gives you a basic shape. then you will want to mold the rest with putty. like filling in areas and making the kit itself. i use squadron hobby putty, works nice. to shape it, i have a really old screw driver, and glob a bunch on, and use the screw driver to spread and make lines. then when dry, you can shape more with razor and files and sand paper
