Vallejo 20 ml Plastic Putty

I've used miliput most of my life for various tasks from filling to scenic modeling to custom parts for models and it's always been fine for the job provided you're prepared to put in the work finishing it. I have also tried the Revel plastic filler and again, it's fine for what it is, also requiring a lot of work carefully applying it and then gentle sanding and finishing to get a good clean fill. For very fine work though, it's always been miliput as nothing else quite does the job. Searching for filler here on Amazon I came across this. I've been using Vallejo paints for quite a while, but I had no idea that they did other things as well. The price of not having any kind of model store on my rock means that I only find things like this by accident. So, out of curiosity I ordered a tube. Well, I'm converted, I will definitely be ordering some more of this stuff to make sure I have a bit of stock in. Straight out of the tube it's already smooth offering a very nice pliable paste to work with. No stringy bits, no lumps no hard work mixing and moulding it so it's warm and pliable. That it has a fine point applicator attached is a bonus of course, but it's not the important part. This paste is quite wet, so can be spread easily around a joint and to fill gaps, it's workable straight out of the tube, so fine putty tools or similar work with this well. It spreads smoothly, fills and evens edges and is just amazing. When I think of all the hours spent working and sanding, filing and cleaning to get a good finish, and there's this which is pretty much perfect out of the tube... Suffice to say that while my box of miliput will always have a purpose, I will now be using this for fine level filling. It dries fairly quickly once you stop pushing it around, and it sands down beautifully. Finishing is easy as there is less work to do applying this, so you can get a decent surface very quickly, the sanding is then a simple task of finishing it off rather than working down to the surface you want. This is about as close as you can get to the perfect, fine level model filler.

Really cheap and good quality.Vallejo is a trusted brand and this plastic putty is great for filling in gaps, shaped to add details, or repairing miniatures as once dried is rock solid and hard.Once piped it's quite thick but easily spreadable and adheres to all surfaces.It's quite easy to brush of any excess while still wet.In the picture I used it to add rocks to the base.

Easy to work with a damp cotton bud and you can level most of it back which means less sanding.

Easy to use excellent quality Great price excellent packaging

The narrow nozzle is ideal for getting into those tight nooks and crannies, and the product spreads easily with a slightly wet paint brush, improves my models immensely.It also dries to a good hard finish that can be sanded and painted.

This is a good filler putty to have in your collection, but it’s not good enough to be the only filler that you use. I would say this is better at filling hairline cracks or panel gaps, but not good enough for larger areas that you are building up. When using for the right purpose it dries very easily and leaves a good finish. However, it’s not sandable and if you use too much, it never seems to dry. On the positive side I will say that the applicator seems to keep cleaner than most other fillers, meaning that you do get the full value for money out of the filler. Final colour of the product is white, and can be painted as long as you are only using small thin amounts.

Excellent product & good value

Nice putty. Easy to apply with the thin nozzle. Overpaints perfectly. Note that, unlike Plasto, this does not set hard - so can't be filed or sanded. Therefore, it's a useful complement to Plasto but not a replacement. If I was only permitted to have one or the other then I would choose Plasto.
