Here is an update on my kitbash challenge. I am further along than the pics show, but here is an issue I came across while building the Korber kits. Each modular section has a "finishing" strip that goes along each side of the modular piece which interlocks with another wall section. Seems like a good idea for construction. Unfortunately, the finishing or trim pieces don't line up very well to one another; some have a slight crack, others a gap at the joint. I have to fill and sand every joint to get a smooth, "crack-less" look. ARRRRRRGH! Not to mention I had some issues keeping the longer / taller sections straight and square as some of the pieces did not quite match up with one another. See pics below to see what I mean:

I tried using squadron putty, but it isn't working very well. It doesn't want to stick. It pops and cracks quite easily, so I am trying plaster and Durabond to see how it goes. So far, on the test section, it is holding up very well. More info to come soon!
