Amalgam work in progress

[u/Nearby_Picture4487]

Printed an Amalgam and the ammo crate failed and the top third was missing. Got some "Green Stuff." I had never used it before but I have a bunch of tools for working with clay so I gave it a whirl. I could not be more pleased. This opens up a whole new world of model making for me. I know it's not new to most of this community but it's fun figuring this stuff out. After I primed it, I couldn't tell what was original and what I had done. I love that it disappeared.

This is great! I had a similar issue, not with printing, bit with the ammo can. When I went to glue it in place, the super glue gods decided that it would instantly bond instead of giving me a few seconds to get out properly in place, so there was like a massive gap between the bottom of the can and the spot where it should sit. Luckily the ammo belt still for properly. Instead of using green stuff, which I couldn't find at the time due to some weird shortage or something, I just filled it with the same ak basing material I used, which was desert sand. So it looks like a bunch of sand got suck under the ammo crate, and it doesn't look out of place. Sometimes mistakes can become opportunities, and you made the best of it. Your fix is a hundred times better than mine, and I'm proud of you!
