Modeler’s Guide for Resin Kits

To achieve professional results when integrating these upgrade parts into your models, please follow these preparation steps:

1. Cleaning: Wash the resin heads in warm, soapy water to remove any residual mold release agents. This ensures that your primer and paint bond securely to the small, detailed surfaces.

2. Removal: Use a fine-point hobby saw or sharp clippers to remove the heads from their casting gates. Take extra care around delicate areas like cap peaks or microphone booms.

3. Assembly: Use Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) to attach the heads to your figures. For a more secure fit or to adjust the "neck" angle, you can drill a small hole in both the head and the torso to insert a thin wire pin.

4. Refinement: If there are minor gaps between the new head and the original kit torso, use a tiny amount of hobby putty or "green stuff" to blend the neck join seamlessly.

5. Safety: Always wear a dust mask when sanding or trimming resin to avoid inhaling fine particles, and work in a well-ventilated area.

6. Priming: Apply a thin layer of high-quality surface primer. This provides the necessary "tooth" for skin tones and fabric colors to adhere to the smooth resin.
