How to work with resin kits.

Post by B17Fortress » Tue Oct 18, 2011 3:00 pm

I have been assembling typical plastic kits since I was a kid, but just got around to getting my first resin figure (a 1/35 'Nam M60 team from Bravo 6) today.

My main questions are:

What glue do I use?
How fragile are the pieces?
How do I remove the parts from the blocks?
What paints can be used?

Answers to the above and any other tips you can think of will be welcomed.

Thanks,

B17

This could help.

The best way to get the pour stubs off is to saw them off.
