OK..new to figures and I'm wondering best way to remove the resin figures from the sprues. I just bought several 1/72 scale Warrior and MIG sets.
Also, is one glue better than others for this resin?

You'll want to use a razor saw unless the attachment point is very small. In that case, you could use nipers. For your purposes, superglue will be your choice. My prefernvce is Zap-A-Gap.

Al,
Thanks for the quick response!
I have a pretty fine razor saw but in two cases I have the figures toe touching this thick block of resin. I guess I could try and use a sprue cutter for that connection point.
