Wash the figures with warm soapy water, let it dry and then prime it. There are different opinions on the best primer. The main colors used are black, grey or white. Personally for figures I use white.

hi there pat thanks for the reply

one thing i forgot to ask was

how do you seperate the pieces of resin off the sprue blocks withing damaging them. and will any sanding down be needed? normal plastics glue be alright for resin to use on??


cheers tony

A razor saw will do the job but be aware of the dust.

Yes a razor saw is a must Cut just above the piece and sand down. Normal styrene cement won't work you need superglue
