Resin Figures vs plastic

Hi All

anyone bought any of these figures ? I've found I've had to use cyanoacrylte adhesive to stick them together ; normal glue no use ! Also you get a great deal of excess to shave off.

I just used super glue and it works fine. Normal model glue melts the plastic for adhesive and it won't work on resin.

I should thank you...... Nice figures. I am thinking of getting a couple. I think they are knock-offs (not from Vinlinden I don't think) so there will be lots of excess but reasonably cheap.

I got some of these on ebay from china. Probably copys but not of verlinden. Quality was actually better than verlinden. Stick with superglue. I did a post a while back on painting figures and they can be seen there

John and Michael

Ive just finished 4 of them from this company and although there is a lot of excess, the detail on the figures is brilliant ! Just finished the panzer grenadier seated with the mg42 and he looks great. You don't get any instructions and painting and construction but who needs them ? I just copy everyone else's camo patterns on here or go visit images on internet. Will post some pics when they are all done. I now have 7 figures in total.

cheers
