Love your technique with the Aves. Shows its versatility really well.
Sucks that the tail keeps coming off like it does.
Thanks Patrick, I avoided Aves for a very long time. I guess I was afraid of it. But now, it is head first and I am using it all the time. I have far more control over it than I do other fillers, and it will allow you to sculpt it. It just took me a few tries to get the above technique down.

Outstanding work on the build and working out the seams to blend them into the details, Big G is coming alive...
Thank you, wait until the next update....should be on Monday.
XXNITRO and Haggistom: I will pin the tail if I have to. I made a mistake when I glued it on the second time. The Ambroid pro weld leaves a residue behind, and I didn't clean that off. I sanded it off tonight and I am going to try Tamiya regular cement on it when I am done with the seams on the tail and the body. I will also give your styrene trick a try. Build up the registry pins a bit. If that doesn't hold, then fill the tail, the body, and then pin it together.
The plastic isn't that brittle, I don't think I got it glued up correctly the first time.
Cobraleader: This is NOTHING like that 747. I knew the joints would be bad, but this isn't fill and smooth so you can't see the joint. That is what I had to do on that 747, not to mention, fix bad alignments. For Godzilla, I just have to cover up the joint with a texture. Much easier to do. In the next video I show you a lucky accident on it. One that saved me a whole lot of time! The arms, legs and tail are now done. I am working on the body seam tonight. If all goes well, first coat of paint next weekend.
King gidrah is ready for me to start on his seams. I will have that video up later in the week.
