Troubleshooting FAQs
My figure arrived broken in the post, what should I do?

The resin looks delicate; how should I handle it?
Resin can be quite fragile, so handle the figure gently and avoid dropping it or applying excessive pressure to thinner parts. Always support the figure from the base or the more solid areas when moving it.
There are small surface marks or lines on the figure, is this normal?
Some very minor surface marks can occur due to the 3D printing and curing process. These are usually easy to tidy up with light finishing before priming and painting.
What if the figure doesn’t stand properly on my layout?
If the base or feet do not sit perfectly flat, you can gently sand the underside of the feet or base on fine sandpaper placed on a flat surface. Adjust gradually until the figure stands securely.
The detail looks soft after priming, what might be wrong?
Applying too heavy a coat of primer can obscure fine details. Use light, misted coats of primer, allowing each coat to dry before adding another. If detail is obscured, avoid adding more primer and proceed with thin paint layers.
Assembly & Painting FAQs
Does the figure require assembly?
The figure is supplied as a single resin piece, but may require some minor finishing before painting. This can include light sanding or trimming of small imperfections if present.
What primer should I use on this resin figure?
The figure can be primed with Halfords grey primer or Tamiya Fine Surface Primer, as recommended. Apply in thin, even coats for the best results and to preserve the detail.
Do I need to do any preparation before priming?
Although items are cleaned and cured by hand, it is good practice to:
- Inspect the figure for any small imperfections and gently tidy them if needed.
- Ensure the surface is free from dust before priming.
- Handle the figure by the base or a non-detailed area to avoid fingerprints in the primer.
What type of paints work best on this figure?
Once primed with a suitable primer such as Halfords grey primer or Tamiya Fine Surface Primer, you can use your preferred model paints designed for miniatures and scale models. Thin coats will help keep the fine detail visible.
Any tips for painting a realistic yard figure?
To achieve a realistic look, consider:
- Using muted, workwear-style colours to suit a yard or railway setting.
- Adding subtle shading and highlights to folds in clothing and facial features.
- Applying light weathering, such as dusty boots or slightly worn clothing, to match your layout.
