How to use

Carefully remove parts from the sprues using clippers, clean mold lines with a modelling file or hobby knife, and dry-fit components before gluing. Assemble the miniature with plastic model glue for strong bonds and allow sufficient curing time. Prime the assembled model before painting to ensure paint adhesion, then apply basecoats, shading and highlights using hobby acrylic paints. Attach the model to the supplied 60mm round base and finish basing with suitable textures or scenic materials to complete the display.

Usage recommendations

Use Citadel Plastic Glue or equivalent polystyrene cement for assembly and water-based hobby acrylic paints for painting. Work in a well-ventilated area, wear eye protection when cutting parts from sprues, and allow glue and paint to fully cure between steps. For display stability, pin joints if you plan on heavy conversions or transport your model frequently.
