I have to apologize to anyone reading this at this stage of the project. The early, early prep stages are the most boring. It's basically just a bunch of waiting around for putty to dry. Lame.
In particular, I'm waiting for Apoxie Sculpt to dry. A nice and cheaply available 2 part epoxy clay.
Last time, I spent an almost undue amount of time bitching about mold lines and casting flaws. Time to fix them. Lots of people will say that green stuff is the way to go. For organic shapes, I tend to agree. However, green stuff sucks rocks for anything that's supposed to be flat/manmade. Green stuff doesn't hold an edge like you'd hope it would and isn't sand-able. So with gaps and flaws in large, falt areas and along hard lines, green stuff is pretty awful. Mostly because it's really hard to get it so that the fix is flush with the surface.
