Assembling your models is an easy enough task, despite
the fact that you have to glue so many arms and legs together! You
simply need to take things one step at a time.
|
|
|
|
Free all the various bitz from the sprue with clippers.
It's a good idea to organize the many items into separate
piles (you can put them in old jars to avoid losing
bitz). This step will make the actual assembly a bit
easier.
|
|
|
|
Trim the flash from the models with a hobby knife.
Flash is a thin line of raised plastic left from the
molding process that is clearly visible on the model.
Use a scraping motion to remove the flash.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Separate the bodies and legs from your piles of plastic
bitz and glue them to the bases before attaching any
arms.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to see a model's pose before committing
any glue, use Blu-Tac or the blue strip from some
epoxy putty to secure the bitz temporarily.
|
|
|
|
Plastic kits allow for a wide variety of poses. It's
up to you to decide how the models will look!
|
|
Before you move on to painting your models, it's
probably best to get a few things out of the way mainly,
texturing your bases and priming models for painting. Texturing
a model's base is best done before priming. This way, the glue and
primer act as sealants and ensure that none of the sand falls off.
|
|
|
|
Spread some white or wood glue onto a model's base
and dip it into a container of sand. Shake off any
excess sand and set the model aside so the glue can
dry.
|

|
White or Chaos Black Spray Primer makes much more
sense when undercoating a large unit of models. Be
sure to follow the instructions on the spray can.
But if you wish to do it by hand instead, go right
ahead!
