PREPARATION
1. Check
Firstly, check out all the details whether there are no missing or miscast parts.
If you have problems with details – please contact us at wargaming.space@gmail.com.
2. Supports & touchpoints
We sell our 3D printed models without any major supports, but you should remove small touchpoints and ultra-tiny supports left on the model.
Please use a model knife and fine sandpaper.
Don’t be intimidated by the process, we use a top-quality UV printing resin and it is very easy to work with.
3. Warped Parts and Repositioning
Sometimes thinner parts could be slightly bent or twisted.
You can easily fix that by immersing the piece in hot water or by applying heat from a hairdryer.
The piece should reform to its original shape by itself.
If not, gently twist the piece back into position.
The amount of heat that needs to be applied is often determined by the thickness of the parts. Thicker parts need to be heated for a longer time.
This technique can also be used to bend some parts into shapes and positions to pose models.
We’re proud to be partners of Yes, That’s 3D Printed! – check them out! We use their high-quality WARGAMER resin because it’s almost as good as plastic and delivers incredible detail and durability, perfectly matching the capabilities of our 14K resolution printers.

Nice model, unfortunately not quite mature. The ring that rests in the tank is too thin. The model does not come over the buckle of the tank. The focus of the model is second in front and tilts always over. But the level of detail is impressive.

TL;DR version: Bits, bits, bits! BUY! But know what you’re buying, so read. Sorry.
Okay, now the long version. First, The Bad: Construction of these can be a bit tricky, not least because the positioning nubs mess things up. DRY FIT EVERYTHING BEFORE GLUING!!! That said: ARMS COME FIRST. Shave off the positioning nubs on the arms; they don’t quite line up to the shoulders if the hands end is clicked in properly. I used a cyanoacrylate gel glue that gives me about five seconds to play with, clicked in the hands end, and then positioned the arms to the shoulders, applied glue, and just held them until bonded. HEAD COMES SECOND. I had to shave down the neck fairly severely to get a look I was happy with; right out of the package, the long positioning nub makes for a comically long and unstable head. It’s your model, you know the look you like, do as you please. After the head comes the actual gun mount piece, then the splash guard piece. I used a bit of tinted clear plastic off a gundam sprue to give me a colored screen in the notch. Arm guard pieces are optional, but define the shape nicely. Gun barrels: shave the positioning tabs off, they straight don’t fit, and you don’t really need them. More on these under section: The Good.
Second, The Ugly. The completed piece does not quite sit down on a Devilfish hull; you’re going to have to widen the receiving hole by about a millimeter. You get four heads in the package: the helmet heads have this nasty little hole in the lenses area that detracts from overall appearance… but are infinitely preferable (in my humble opinion) to the unhelmeted heads, which I am saving for my next stab at female mutants. They are fugly. ‘Nuff said.
Third, The Good. The real draw for me with this product is all the myriad modding options it gives you. Gun barrels: you get four each of carbine barrels, autocannon barrels, and missile launchers. The missile launcher bits can be used on anything: they’re standalone. The carbine bits likewise, you can place them on any hull, turret, or wing edge where you want an extra gun. The autocannon barrels (in my humble opinion) look best on the actual piece, so that’s what I used there. You can magnetize them all easily if you want swap-out capability. You can also use barrels from other weapons out of other kits as well; the sky is the limit here. 144 scale Gundam kit guns, believe it or not, work well here with a little reworking, and can look spectacular.
But it’s the actual pilot-in-chair piece that has my attention. if you leave off the guns, what do you have? A pilot in a couch, ready to drop into any project that wants one. Take a thin saw, and slowly follow the groove, rotating frequently as you make your cuts, and very soon you will have a perfect sensor node ready for whatever you want (a pair of those missile bits mate with this beautifully) and the aforementioned pilot. No joke, no lie, I want a dozen of this kit. I have so many uses for everything.
Thank you for reading. LordGrise@AOL.COM.
