You can find lots of gap filling info covered in Doc's pinning tutorial here (http://www.gkjapan.com/showthread.php?458-Pinning-Tutorial.)
What you need to do is use a release agent on one part and the putty on the other part. Then you can separate the pieces for painting and re-assemble it later.

i know how to putty it just wasent the right thing to do in this case,, i gave it a biold and fit formd the breasts to the clothing. thanx anyway. im sure in the pic you ca see the putty or maby not idk. guess i wasent clear on i know how to do basic puttying...
The link was not intended to show you how to putty. The link explained the right type of putty to use for filling gaps. Your photo shows what appears to be a lacquer putty which is not what you should be using. Lacquer putties like Tamiya Basic Grey and the like, are for filling fine scratches and surface imperfections, not for building volume or filling in large gaps. Next time you have an "evil gap" to fill, you might want to try an epoxy putty or polyester putty.
I'm not familiar with the technique "gave it a biold", but I'm glad to hear that everything worked out for you in the end. Thanks for sharing!
