WIP Red Scorpion Grand Master

Today we began work on Forge world's Commander Culln. First thing to note is that the model is made of resin and comes unassembled.

First thing then is to clean up the model ( the process of removing moldlines, flash and to use modelling putty to filly in gaps and holes that occasionally happen in the molding process ) We used a handy cheap multi-tool to speed things up as well as needle files, modelling knife and sand paper to do this.
Once the clean up was done on all the parts we gave them a wash in lukewarm soapy water to remove the release agent. The release agent is a type of grease which is placed on the mould so the the moulded model will not stick to it the downside is that if the agent is not remove the paint will not attach properly to the model , so this is a must if using resin.

Next we part assembled the model using superglue if it is a large heavy of resin or metal model we would suggest pinning as this will help the model to support the weight of the larger parts when gluing the parts together. We checked that the parts assembled will not interfere with the brush when painting and if they did as set aside to be painted separately before glueing to the model.

Now we primed the model. We sprayed the model with GW black primer so that we have a solid black coat, remember to spray in small bursts from about 30 cm or 12 inches away. Then we gave a light dusting for GW skull white spray then built up on a area of the model that we will paint the light direction from as this will make things easier when painting.
