gorbyCan anyone please recommend the best modelling putty?
For the last two years I have been using 'Perfect Plastic Putty' from 'Deluxe Materials'. It's okay, a bit chalky and apparently the tubes are prone to burst open at the wrong end – as mine did not long after opening (there has been a clip on it holding it closed ever since).
The tube is running low now, so could anyone suggest a better alternative?
Thanks in advance.

Robert W MartelGorby, I do like the PPP also. It's water based, easy to work with, dries fast, and is easy to sand. Fills gaps great w/a wet swab! Only bad point you cant wetsand it, but it feathers out dry really well, then prime over it. I put a drop of water in the cap, to help keep it from drying out.
Tamiya is good stuff, but anything that is solvent/lacquer based takes a long time to dry and will shrink over time, it will look good now, but down the road you'll see the spot come back!
A friend uses the Green Stuff, I tried some and liked it too. Also water based and dried hard.
