Looks great! You didn't say exactly, but are these walls hydrocal, or resin?

And cheap emory boards work really well as sanding sticks.

Hi rusty:

Looking good so far. Try this for filling your corners. blue painters tape down each of the corner. Get it as close to to opening as possible. Take fast & final spackling (The light stuff) on your finger and run it down the seam. remove ptape.

I you read threw the last few pages there are tip on gluing and seam work. If you are planing on doing one of the rda kits I would take a look at  it. I used 5 min epoxy and had to add 1/8/x1/8 styren for bracing in the corners and roughed up the glue area a bit. the first attempt did not hold well. the seams iI used tymia putty and recarved the corner stones with a detail engraver. hope it helps and glad you like it. I am happy to get the response on this that I am  getting. this is my first plastic/ resin kit I have done. hpe to get some more done over the weekend. thanks for following along
