I haven't built anything by Leadwarrior, but in the last year or so I have started to work with resin and PE, mainly in a couple of conversion sets. The best advice I can give you is to go slowly. Resin parts are easy to break. Take some time and plan what you are doing, especially when cutting small parts from the plugs. A good razor saw and working slow will keep breakage to a minumum.
PE is another story. I don't have a PE folding device, but one is on my short list. Again, take your time and plan what you need to do.

Good luck.
