Assembly
I would love to assemble every miniature I ship out, but I know somethings can prevent that from happening. Larger models often need to be shipped in parts to prevent damage during shipping. Also, painting a model can be a lot harder once the base is attached.
If you would like for me to assemble your model for you, reach out to me via the chat feature. For most models I can assemble free of charge. For larger models, I may need to add a small charge to cover the cost of shipping a larger box with more packaging material to ensure the safety of your product.
Self-Assembly Instructions
GLUING MODELS For most models, simply gluing the feat to a base is the only assembly required. Glue the model, squeeze together firmly, and let set over night.
For larger models, you can assemble the pieces together like a jigsaw puzzle… its very fun!!!
Gaps in Larger Models Larger models may have hairline gaps where the pieces meet, this is normal for 3d-prints and is caused by slight warping due to size. You can use milliput to fill these gaps, or just paint with primer over the model which should make most gaps invisible
Self-Assembly Materials
Below are some links to materials that you can use to easily glue your minis to bases, or assemble larger models from their constituent pieces. All the links below are Amazon Affiliate Links, because I might as well get a little moolah to pay for my crippling hobby addiction 🤷
Glues - The most basic tool is a super glue, you want a cheap glue that has a very precise applicator. Either a Loctite glue, or a larger bottle with a disposable precision applicator
Precision Cleaning Tools (OPTIONAL) - If you plan to get really deep into model assembly, I suggest a few tools to ensure the highest quality of assembled pieces. Any resin manufactured piece is going to have slight warping that will cause hairline gaps where parts join, you can use a rotary tool, or dental tools to clean up the pieces. Optionally, you can also get a rotary tool to clean up the material even faster.
Gap Filling Material (OPTIONAL) - Even if you clean off multi-part prints there still may be some hairline gaps. If you want to make models completely seamless, you can use milliput which is a self-hardening epoxy to fill in any gaps you find.
