Specifications

Assembly Instructions (Setup)

This kit requires assembly. Tools and materials such as hobby knives, sandpaper, super glue (CA glue), and primer are recommended (not included).

1. Inspection: Carefully inspect all resin parts upon receipt. Check for any damage, missing pieces, or significant molding imperfections.
2. Cleaning: Resin parts may have mold release agents or residue from the 3D printing process. Wash all parts gently with mild soap and lukewarm water. Use a soft brush to clean crevices. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
3. Part Preparation:
   • Support Removal Traces: As the model is 3D printed, support structures are removed prior to packaging. You may find subtle traces where these supports were attached. Carefully sand or file these areas smooth using fine-grit sandpaper or hobby files.
   • Flash/Seam Lines: Remove any thin resin flash or minor seam lines using a hobby knife or fine sandpaper. Be careful not to remove sculpted detail.
   • Test Fit: Before gluing, dry-fit all parts to ensure proper alignment and fit. If parts do not fit perfectly, gently sand or trim contact surfaces until a good fit is achieved.
4. Assembly:
   • Use super glue (cyanoacrylate adhesive) for bonding resin parts. Apply a small amount to one surface and hold the parts firmly together until the glue sets.
   • Assemble the model in logical sub-assemblies (e.g., body, arms, accessories) before joining them into the final figure. This can make painting easier.
   • Refer to the product images provided in the Product Overview section for guidance on the final assembled appearance.
5. Gap Filling (Optional): If any small gaps remain after assembly, they can be filled with hobby putty or liquid green stuff, then sanded smooth once dry.

Painting and Finishing (Operating)

The model is supplied uncolored in grey resin, ready for painting. This section outlines general steps for painting resin models.

1. Priming: Apply a thin, even coat of hobby primer (e.g., grey, black, or white) to the entire assembled model. Primer helps paint adhere better and provides a uniform base color. Allow to dry completely.
2. Base Coats: Apply your chosen base colors using acrylic or enamel hobby paints. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat to preserve detail.
3. Detail Painting: Paint smaller details, facial features, and accessories. Use fine brushes for precision.
4. Shading and Highlighting: Use washes, inks, or dry-brushing techniques to add depth, shadows, and highlights to the model, enhancing its three-dimensional appearance.
5. Weathering (Optional): For a more realistic or worn look, apply weathering effects such as dust, grime, or rust using specialized weathering products.
6. Sealing/Varnishing: Once painting is complete and dry, apply a protective clear coat (matte, satin, or gloss varnish) to protect the paint job from wear and tear.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean your finished model, gently dust it with a soft brush or a can of compressed air. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the paint or resin.
• Storage: Store your model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to UV light can cause resin to yellow or become brittle over time.
• Handling: Handle the model by its base or sturdy parts to avoid damaging delicate details or paintwork.

Troubleshooting

User Tips

• Patience is Key: Resin model kits require patience and attention to detail. Take your time with each step, especially cleaning and sanding.
• Ventilation: When sanding resin or using glues and paints, ensure you work in a well-ventilated area or wear appropriate respiratory protection.
• Reference Material: Use the provided product images and any other reference material you can find to guide your assembly and painting, especially for color schemes.
• Thin Coats of Paint: Always apply paint in thin, multiple coats to avoid obscuring fine details.
