How is the item shipped and what condition is it in?
The figure is supplied new and dispatched by Royal Mail 2nd Class. Each model is inspected, cleaned and cured by hand before shipping.
Is the figure fragile?
Resin can be quite delicate, so the figure should be handled with care and not dropped. It is best treated as a display model rather than a play item.
Can I use this figure outdoors on a garden railway?
The figure is suitable in scale and style for garden railways, but as with any resin model, outdoor use may expose it to weathering. Many modellers use suitable primers and paints and bring figures indoors when not in use to prolong their life.
Do I need to do any finishing before painting?
All items are cleaned and cured by hand, but the figures may require some minor finishing before painting, such as light sanding or tidying up any small marks if present.
What primer should I use on this figure?
The figure can be primed with Simonez grey primer or Tamiya Fine Surface Primer. Both give a good base for further painting.
Do I need to wash the figure before priming?
The figures are already cleaned by hand, but some modellers prefer to give resin parts a gentle wash in mild soapy water and let them dry fully before priming, especially if they have handled the model a lot.
What type of paints work well on this resin?
Once primed with a suitable primer such as Simonez grey or Tamiya Fine Surface Primer, you can use your preferred model paints. Many hobbyists use acrylics for ease of use and quick drying.
Any tips for painting a realistic “peering” figure?
Focus on subtle shading around the face, hands and clothing folds to bring out the natural pose. A gentle wash and dry-brushing over a good primer coat can really highlight the 3D-scanned details.
Can I modify or convert the figure before painting?
Resin can be carefully cut or sanded if you wish to make small conversions, but it is delicate. Work slowly, support the part well and always test any changes on an inconspicuous area first.
How should I handle the figure during painting?
Because resin is delicate, it helps to mount the figure on a temporary handle (such as a cork or painting grip) while painting. This avoids putting pressure on small details and keeps fingerprints off the primed surface.
What should I do if my figure arrives broken?
If the piece has been damaged in the post, please take clear photos of the damage and packaging and get in touch. While we cannot be responsible for breakages after delivery, we will see what we can do to help make things good when damage occurs in transit.
What if something snaps after I’ve started working on it?
We cannot be held responsible for breakages once the item has arrived safely. Resin is delicate, so it is best to handle the figure gently during assembly, priming and painting to avoid stress on thin parts.
The surface looks slightly rough in places. Is this normal?
Minor imperfections can occasionally occur with resin printing. Light sanding or careful scraping can usually smooth these areas before priming, as part of the minor finishing sometimes needed.
My primer is not adhering well. What can I do?
Ensure the figure is completely dry and free from dust or skin oils. A gentle wash in mild soapy water, followed by thorough drying, often improves primer adhesion. Using recommended primers such as Simonez grey or Tamiya Fine Surface Primer also helps.
The figure does not stand securely on my layout. How can I fix this?
If the base or feet do not sit perfectly flat, you can carefully sand the contact points or fix the figure to a small scenic base. This also helps protect the model from knocks on a busy layout.
