Jared Roach Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Jared, just curious...where are you located country-wise? I used to buy Tamiya Basic putty but it has been unavailable in the USA for some time. I've been getting it from vendors in Hong Kong most recently. I'm curious what the White Putty is, and if it's available stateside. Thanks in advance for any information. Well, I'm in nova scotia, Canada. I have never used the basic putty before but I got it at my hobby store, they just got it in because I go there every week. Next time I go I can ask the manager, he knows my mom so it won't be that hard to find out. I think it's just white though, not sure but I think it works pretty good.

CAL Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Thanks...I've never seen that kind of Tamiya Putty, and was curious what you thought of it. The "Basic" putty was gray and had aluminum flecks in it. I have no clue if they sell it here in the US, but I'll keep an eye out. I have seen it in the states at our LHS, but I haven't tried it ever. I have always just used milliput. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAL Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I think if I remember correctly it is a polyester putty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAL Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I used to use Miliput, but switched to Magic Sculp which is very similar but I found it less "gooey" and easier to form closer to a finished shape prior to drying. I always liked to have the Basic Putty around for very small jobs that were a little unweildy with 2-part putty. I'm not that hopeful that the White Putty would be as useful, but I'm always up for trying something new just to check it out. Tamiya doesn't make it habit of making anything bad. So it's probably good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whale392 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hey Zuk........that Dodge Crew cab you got, is that a 1964-65 cab? If so, you just made my day and if they have a regular cab coming you just made my dads life! With that and some scratchbuilding, I can build a model of his 1968-71 trucks. Does the same caster have the beds as well? I'll have to copy and paste the link you show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
