garage kits are typically made of resin, they're solid, and have different nuances to building them (pinning, etc)

vinyl is hollow, usually need to be filled to keep it from 'melting'/bending

everyone has their favorites...

expanding foam is too unpredictable/uncontrollable IMHO
mountains-in-minutes is similar & easier to control
durham's water putty
resin (gets real hot may ruin vinyl)
crumpled up newspaper JAMMED into hollow areas

i like the newspaper and/or durhams options...
