    Greenstuff is cheap if you look outside GW as you can buy a nice bulk $20 for 100g versus $10 for 20g - maybe you could split with a friend?

    I'm by no means an expert but I have used green stuff several times to fill gaps and it has worked flawlessly. If it's just a minor seam between two pieces I will just use super glue as the filler, but if there's any sort of gap green stuff works great. As others have said, you can get it pretty cheap outside of GW.

    Bob Smith Industries makes a gap filling glue that some of my old customers swore by.

    I reccomend trying greenstuff. The more you use it the better you will get with it. You can find it cheaper on line for more putty by looking for kneadite brandname.

    An alternative would be testor plastic contour putty.

    I've also had great results with Baron's white or green putty on 1/6 scale models, it is smoother than the Testor's. It's also sandable.

    Default Inexpensive alternative...

    In lieu of the green stuff, you could try something called Quik Plastik (very similar to green stuff but much cheaper) I get it at the local home depot, and have been using it for several years now...Also if you are not too worried about strength (In other words you just want to fill a gap) try using wood filler (or carpenter's wood filler. Elmers makes the stuff. It dries quickly (advantage) can be scraped or sanded, but can be a little runny (let it get a bit dry before applying it to the gap).

    I agree Green Stuff is probably best for this sort of work. add water to it by brishing it on this makes it a little easier to use, you can also get sets of metal dentists tools that have a number of great applications for any sculpting you may be doing.

    It seems like the consensus is greestuff... although I think I will get some of the milliput and try that mixture as well, but greenstuff it is!

    Miliput. Ive been using it for 20 years and Ive only ever brought two packs! It lasts forever.
