So more filler, shaping and sanding, next a quick second go with primer.

Example of a lucky accident: I removed the nozzle from the plastic putty tube to clean it out, under running water. As it happens, even though I thought blowing air through would be sufficient, a bit of humidity was trapped and overnight,  'conditioned' the next bit of putty I used today.

It went on really well and flowed into the little crevices without being too thin.

Praise to the model gods!
