It looks like you're using mat board as your primary hull/turret material, stiffened with crazy glue for sanding. What filler are you using? Can't wait to see it painted.

Hi rps! Main material used for this build is what we call illustration board (not sure what you call them over there). It's white on one side and black on the other. Thick enough for the build that stiffener boards are not required. At times, I used card stock and mat board depending on the application I think required. Super glue was used to make the bond hold better, to make relatively thin parts stiffer, and as you say, to allow sanding on parts. Unfortunately, NO FILLERS were used. Elmer's Glue and Super Glue for bonding parts together. Oh! some parts were rolled paper glued and stiffened by super glue.
