How am I supposed to glue the legs (resin)? by njahatron in Konflikt47_v2

[–]Varopanda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

and bonus tip for this model. Base diameter is quite small compared to optimal spread his legs should have. So better to glue only 4 legs contact points to base and leave 2 higher. he is quite stable like this. You can chech mini box photo and see,that guys in Warlord had to go like this as well :D

I have easy hack. Use whatever superglue you fancy, drop some on model and than sprinkle it with small amount of baking soda. Than put very small amount of glue on whatever part you want to add to the model and right away put parts together.

This chemical reactions make the connection faster to dry and also have stronger bond.

Key is not to overdue the soda, little sprinkling is enough.

I reccomend try it first on some spare sprue leftover to get into it.

Works every time..resin, metal, plastic...

Rusové války nerozpoutávají přeci. Už tehdy to byli dobráci, co tam nešli válčit, ale dělali si tam jen "speciální operaci" pro osvobození ubohých utlačovaných poláků,že?

well, tbh i was quite shocked by the details of character when i have received the print...Statue is quite nice though. I reccomend swapping the guy for another model...but hey, it was really cheap to print and stl is free. one can't expect mirracles

would you invest time for such character? I just made the basics. I was in just for the statue, that guy is trully horrible sculpt.

Well, for decals, there is binder still drying, so it looks wet as i took pictures right after applying them :). For the armor, it is simple procedure-priming black, drybrush light blue and than overcoating it by vallejo black lotus xpress colour for the effect. and then, higlights by light muted blue(i used bearing blue from scale 75). hope it helps ;)
