Tips for Working with Your New Resin Parts

1. Unpack with Care
When your order arrives, open the packaging carefully. Resin prints are fragile and can have sharp edges.

2. Clean and Prepare Before Painting
We remove most of the supports before shipping, but some remnants may remain. Inspect each piece from all angles and use tweezers or a fine file to gently remove any leftover supports.
Once cleaned, wash the pieces with mild soap and water to remove any dust or residue—this improves paint adhesion.

3. Gather and Test Fit All Parts
Avoid jumping straight into painting. First, collect all the parts you’ll need to build your custom figure.
Check that everything fits together correctly—for example, ensure the pauldrons fit into the torso, and leg armor pieces align properly.
You may need to file or adjust some areas for a proper fit. If you encounter any major issues, please reach out—we’re happy to help!

Safety Tip:
Always wear a mask when sanding or filing resin, and do this in a well-ventilated area. Avoid working near food, pets, or children, and properly dispose of resin dust.

4. Apply a Primer Before Painting
Before applying acrylics, coat the parts with a primer. This helps the paint adhere better to the resin. Many brands work well, but we’ve had great results with automotive primers.

5. Start Painting
Once primed, you’re ready to paint! Acrylics are the most commonly used paints, and countless tutorials are available online to help you explore techniques.
After painting, don’t forget to apply a sealant—this will protect your work and keep the paint in place.

6. Assembly Tips
Resin parts are designed to fit well with Mythic Legions figures, but they are not meant to replace original parts. For a more secure fit, try using blue tack or similar adhesives.

7. Display Only – Not for Play
All resin parts are intended for display purposes only. They are not toys, and are not safe for children, pets, or use in aquariums or terrariums, as resin can be toxic if ingested.
