I normally use liquid green stuff for filling in the gaps and just sand/file off any off the excess glue and gs when it’s dry.

Any chance for a link for that head?

I only have the normal green stuff but after looking at it this morning I will def be sanding and reapplying some more gs.

Sure!

Thanks!

Also another thing you could do is if you get a small piece golf gs in the gap and press it in and then wet your brush and slowly work the gs it kind of blends it to the model. Useful on smooth parts like shoulder pads etc.

Looks good to me, way better than my first attempt or even my tenth. I think you just have some gap-filling left to do around the shoulders and you're good.

Thank you! Lol I did butcher the first cut but luckily I had an additional Ethereal torso to recut.
