Hi,
I have recently returned to modelling after an absence of around 35 years. There has been a lot of changes. Very impressed by quality and info available. I am into 1/35 ww2 diorama.
This may sound very stupid but could someone please explaint the best way to clean prepare (remove blocks) and glue resin figures. I have recently purchased some Verlinden but I am loathed to start without proper instruction.
Are there any tutorials or videos available?
Your assistance is much appreciated.
Paul
Welcome to the Forums Paul [snWcm]. Resin casting blocks can best be removed with a Razor Saw. Resin can be glued with CA or Epoxy, conventional glues wont work.

Welcome back to the hobby. Seems like this is becoming a trend…and in my simple mind that is a good thing.
[snWcm] To the forums theres alot to learn here [snWcm] .Ron

[snWcm] A razor saw is a good bet for pour plugs, sometimes depending on the piece you can just scribe repeatedly then snap them off, clean up with sanding sticks. Glue with a CA (Super) glue. For more details the folks in the figure section are very helpful.
Welcome Paul… glad to have you back.
No stupid questions, the razor saw will work, yes. Remove in small segments as you get closer to the subject., be careful.
I use “zap” super glue to fix resin. Any decent hobby shop or site will have a variety.
Best of luck with the figures.
welcome aboard, you have come to the right place, like stated there are no stupid questions.
Many thanks to all who replied. I will pick up a razor saw today and get stuck in. Paul
Much appreciated. Getting stuck in today
Welcome back to the hobby, looking forward too seeing some of your work[Y][snWcm]
