Setup

Assembly

The Cadirith Colossal Spider miniature comes in multiple plastic pieces that require assembly. Carefully follow the included assembly instructions. It is recommended to dry-fit pieces before applying adhesive to ensure proper alignment. Use a plastic-compatible adhesive for best results.

Some users have noted that the legs may appear more vertical than depicted in product images and might require adjustment for stable standing. If necessary, the plastic can be gently heated (e.g., by immersing in warm water for a few seconds) and carefully reshaped. Allow the plastic to cool completely in the desired position. Exercise caution to avoid damaging the material.

Usage and Painting

Once assembled, your Cadirith Colossal Spider miniature is ready for painting and use in tabletop games or as a display piece.

Painting

This miniature is designed to be painted with acrylic paints. For best results, clean the miniature thoroughly to remove any mold release agents or oils before priming. A thin coat of primer will help the paint adhere better and provide a uniform base for your colors. Apply paint in thin layers to preserve the fine details of the sculpt.

Handling

Handle the assembled miniature with care, especially after painting. Avoid dropping it or applying excessive pressure, as delicate parts may break. Store it in a safe place to prevent damage.

Maintenance

To maintain the appearance of your miniature, periodically dust it with a soft, dry brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials for cleaning, as these can damage the paint or the plastic itself. Store the miniature away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or paint fading.

Troubleshooting

• Leg Stability: If the miniature does not stand stably after assembly, the legs may require careful adjustment. As mentioned in the Setup section, gently heating the plastic (e.g., with warm water) and carefully reshaping the legs can help. Ensure the miniature is placed on a flat, level surface.
• Assembly Challenges: If pieces do not fit together smoothly, check for any excess plastic or mold lines that may need to be trimmed with a hobby knife. Always ensure parts are oriented correctly according to the assembly instructions.
• Paint Adhesion: If paint is not adhering well, ensure the miniature surface is clean and free of any oils or residues. Using a primer before painting is highly recommended for optimal paint adhesion and durability.
