Whatever the question is use Vallejo putty to fill the gaps in, you can use green stuff or liquid green stuff but I don't think it holds much to the vallejo brand.

Thank you! I love sharing how I did things! The cast was OK (no bubbles, the claws were a little jagged). It's a breeze to assemble (no pinning required), but there were some noticeable gaps after assembly. These were easily-filled with Vallejo plastic putty, which I find easier than liquid green stuff:

For Contrast Paints, I found these tables really helpful: http://imgur.com/gallery/mb5jHNg

I undercoated the model with Wraithbone Spray. The green scales were done with Militarum Green, the bottom half of the model and any bone bits were painted with Skeleton Horde. I went back over the bone areas and applied Snakebite Leather in the recesses to help them stand out. The tongue and gums were done with Volupus Pink. The blue areas were done with Akhelian Green! The base was done with Basilicanum Grey and Gor-Grunta Fur. I went back over the metal bits with watered-down Skrag Brown in the recesses to simulate corrosion.

Damn, that cloak is pretty. Very nice paint my friend. Only critiscm is fill that gap.. it's hardly noticeable but once you see it you can't un-see it. :)

I use this stuff for quick patches.

Bought mine off Amazon here. It dries hard and is pretty adherent, and doesn't run when you're positioning the mod. There may be better options, but it's worked well for me.

To add to the good info above: for KDM miniatures you are pretty much guaranteed to need to use putty/epoxy for the gaps on them if you want them to look good painted. Most of the big monsters will have some very noticeable gaps when put together, and it is fairly common on some of the armor kit survivors too (especially the unarmored kit mentioned above - serious issues with "ken doll" arm sockets).

For larger gaps, I prefer milliput superfine white. It is firm enough you can shape it (add water to help change consistency if needed).

For smaller hairline graps, I really like Vallejo Plastic Putty. It doesn't require pre mixing and is easier to work with if you just need to get it into a tiny gap. Usually apply it then wipe off with wet cloth.

Get some plastic filler like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Vallejo-VJ70400-Plastic-Putty-17ml/dp/B000PHCNLC
I can recommend Tamiya, Vallejo and Mr. Surfacer. Check your local hobby store, they probably have these in stock if you don't want to wait for shipping. Model builders have been using fillers like this for ages and they work extremely well with plastics.

Technique wise, use the filler to close the gaps and lines then sand. Take your time with the sanding. You can wetsand if you want to (I personally prefer this). Once things are looking good, follow up with some some filler primer spray and then sand one more time with high grit/fine sand paper. For sanding, some sanding needles like this: https://www.amazon.com/Alpha-Abrasives-Plastic-Sanding-Needles/dp/B01LEC98AU help a TON for fine detail work.

You can also get some needle files, but I find these harder to use and less forgiving of mistakes when working with plastics.

PS: Checkout /r/modelmakers and http://cs.finescale.com/f/. You can learn a ton about techniques that can apply to finishing up 3D printed models.

I use Perfect Plastic Putty or Vallejo Putty

Both are water based and can be cleaned up using a damp (not wet) cotton bud before they dry fully. Once dry they have to be sanded like any filler.

I also use a medium viscosity super glue mixed 1:1 with baby powder (you can also use baking powder) for bigger fills and gaps where I know I need to sand as it doesn’t shrink and will polish smooth.

u/Burgurwulf · 2 pointsr/3Dprinting

I've been using Vallejo Putty. Works well for me. Mostly filling small gaps in figures with it currently.

u/makinglemonade · 1 pointr/minipainting

Super glue works well, but some minis have a very limited surface area or a weirdly shaped joint that limits just how much glue you can get in there. I will often build up joints using this:

In this specific mini's case:

I wanted the shield to be vertical instead of horizontal because it kept falling off when I put it into my mini-holder. So, I actually attached the bottom of the shield tip to the base, juuuuust a bit to further add to the strength of the bond. Sometimes these attachments are difficult, so using a combination of glue as well as putty can greatly help.
