Hi everyone,
2 questions.
First.Has anyone put together the Verlinden news team?
Unlike some new resin figures there is no instructions and the photo on the package isn't much good.
Second.To remove resin molding,what's the best method?
Ive been using my Dremel,but I fear I'll take a finger tip off one of these days.

I'm not sure about the instructions, but I can relay how I pare away excess resin. I use a hobby saw, for thicker mold blocks. I will leave a few millimeters of the block on the model. I reduce this with a razor knife and finally sand the excess resin away. I have heard that a dental drill is perfect for working with resin. I believe they run about $80 and they should work with most compressors.

Here is verlinden’s news team. They’re not bad but a little dated and don’t seem to match up with current news crews in service right now. The painting is really up to you, but the internet is very helpful when trying to paint anything verlinden related. I just use the back side of an exato blade to remove the resin pour block by using it to scribe with.

Thanks guy's.
The pics really help,the camera man on the box is really blacked out.
Christopher,your quite right about them being dated.I'm OK because I'm using them for Viet Nam.I remember seeing a modern news crew somewhere and I think it was also Verlinden.
