It took over a week to get them. I've just washed them and it's dawned on me that forge world resin is an absolute pain to glue does anybody have any tips on gluing this as there is a lot of small parts?

I'm going to paint it in this colour scheme.

[hyperion]

what about pinning them?

[strangelittlegirl]

No, resin is too brittle, it'll snap. Use superglue, and hold it in place.

I supserglue mine and use epoxy resin to hold them in place more securely

[krakenfiend]

Yes...you must super Glue the resin pieces

Hmm....I've seen that color scheme before....i don't know where though..? lol

[n00b1n8R]

hmmm... i wonder

i would give the FW models another wash (i'm not sure though, ask krakenfien ^) as i'm told that the release they use can be a pain to paint of if you havn't got all of it of.

n00b out

Krakenfiend, what are you talking about. That has to be THE most original scheme I've seen in my life.

Oh...yeah...you ARE right...I've never seen a Red Carapace bone skin colored scheme before...wierd...

Oh and good luck with the Forgeworld stuff wideattion Let me know how those work out for you.

[wolffang]

actualy hes wright about the wash thing... you might find it a good idea to make a soapy water solution and give them a little scrub make sure theres no oils or (please do not swear) on them!

[koran]

With FW models I find it most usefull to crosshatch the parts to be stuck together with a knife - not too deep but a bit more than a scratch. I find this helps them stick in place alot better.

[wideattion]

well I went and got some medium viscosity, fast setting cyano glue and I'm hoping it's up to the job.

so first stage done.

Tell how the FW comes. I am considering getting some of their things but they would be a bit expensive and I wont get them if you dont think its worth it.

[wideattion]

Ok forge world is very expensive and I could understand why some people might regard their stuff as a bit of a con.
But all the stuff I have ordered from them Is amazing but some times there's imperfects in the cast so you have to make allounces for this.
I bought a Sythed Hierodule

There was a large chunk missing from one of the back armour plates.
So a lot of green stuff and half hour later it was fixed.
Here's some photos of what I'm building now and I can't wait to finishe it.
What were you thinking of getting?

[necromoth]

I bought the crusher fex too, the hooks in the battering ram did not fit and had to cut the outer edges off to get them in... Also the carni itself is standard GW and came without Base!
Dreadnoughts are delivered with FW scenic bases though... The missing base was a real bummer... But I bought one seperately at a local store to fix the issue!

[wideattion]

Do you actually have a games workshop store were you live or do you have to mail order everything?
