1st life size bear

I'm attempting my first life size bear. The form is here now and came in 3 pieces. This is my biggest project so far. I've had to alter smaller forms before but never anything this large. What do people use to join the pieces to do your first test fit? Bondo them together and do a test fit. Any comments appreciated.

Hey Mike,
If I am test fitting and know I will be cutting again, I use 5" or 7" screws to hold it together until I'm done. This has working really well for me without the mess until your ready. Hope this helps.

That sounds like a better idea than attaching everthing if you know you have to cut it again. Thanks guys.
