Is this suitable as a toy for children?

Who holds the license for this figure?

The figure is sold under a commercial license from Design Scan Print 3D.

What material is the figure made from?

The figure is printed in high detail resin. This allows for very fine detail, but it also means the model can be delicate and should be handled with care.

How delicate is the resin, and how should I handle it?

Resin can be quite delicate, especially at thinner parts like arms, hands or accessories. Avoid dropping the figure or applying excessive pressure when cleaning, assembling or painting.

What type of primer should I use?

The figure can be primed with Halfords grey primer or Tamiya Fine Surface Primer. Apply light, even coats and allow each coat to dry fully before painting.

Do I need to do any preparation before painting?

All items are cleaned and cured by hand, but some minor finishing may be needed. You may wish to lightly sand or scrape away any small print marks or support nubs before priming.

Can I use other brands of paint and primer?

The figure is compatible with common hobby primers and acrylic model paints. The recommended primers are Halfords grey primer and Tamiya Fine Surface Primer, but most model acrylics will work well over a properly primed surface.

How eco-friendly is the packaging?

The exterior packaging is made in part from recycled materials and is fully recyclable. The interior packing materials are acid-free and made from 99% recycled pulp fibres.

What should I do if my figure arrives broken?

If your figure is damaged in the post, please take clear photos of the damage and the packaging and contact us. We cannot be responsible for breakages after delivery, but we will do our best to help if the item was damaged in transit.

What if a small part snaps while I am working on the model?

We cannot be held responsible for breakages that occur after the item has arrived, but minor breaks can often be repaired with a small amount of cyanoacrylate (super glue). Handle the model gently and support thinner parts while working.

Why does my figure have small marks or tiny nubs on it?

Because the model is 3D printed, you may occasionally see tiny support marks or faint layer lines. These are normal for resin printing and can usually be removed with light sanding or careful scraping before priming.

The primer looks a bit grainy or thick. What went wrong?

Grainy or thick primer usually comes from spraying too close or applying too much at once. Use light, misted coats, keep the spray can moving and follow the manufacturer’s distance and temperature guidelines.

My paint is not sticking well to the figure. How can I fix this?

Ensure the figure is fully clean and dry, and that it has been primed with a suitable primer such as Halfords grey or Tamiya Fine Surface Primer. Avoid touching the surface with oily or greasy hands before painting.

Does the figure come in multiple pieces to assemble?

This particular figure is supplied as a single unpainted piece, so no major assembly is required. You may wish to clean up small print marks, but there are no separate body parts to glue together.

How should I prepare the figure before priming?

Check the figure under good light and gently remove any small support marks or rough spots with a fine file or sanding stick. Make sure the surface is free from dust before applying primer.

What type of paints work best on this figure?

After priming with a suitable model primer, standard acrylic model paints work very well on resin figures. Apply several thin coats rather than one thick coat to preserve the fine detail.

Can I use washes and dry-brushing on this resin figure?

Yes, once the figure is properly primed and base-coated, you can use washes and dry-brushing just as you would on other model figures to bring out the realistic folds and details.

Any tips for painting such a realistic, 3D-scanned pose?

The natural pose really rewards careful shading. Focus on subtle highlights on raised areas like shoulders, knees and facial features, and use gentle shadowing in folds and recesses to bring the realism to life on your layout.
