Frequently Asked Questions
I cannot find your items at my local hobby shop
We handle very specialized products ranging from mainstream to rare import, limited edition and high end collectibles, many of which are made by small companies.

These kits have a very low production run and are of science fiction and horror subjects covering both vehicles and figures.
How is a Resin kit different from a model Kit that I can
buy from a hobby shop?
Resin kits are made by pouring liquid resin into a flexible silicone molds that produce solid pieces to be glued together.

Resin consists of two liquid parts that, when mixed at the proper ratio will solidify in approximately 5-10 minutes. 

                                       
What kind of tools/material do I need?

X-ACTO knives with a variety of differnet blades.  (Available from hobby shops and hardware stores.)

Sandpaper of different grits, coarse to fine.

Cyanoacrylate adhesive (Super Glue) is to be used on resin kits.  They work by acting as a solvent that melts the plastic together.  Super Gluecomes in different setting times.  Setting times mean that two pieces can stick together in 5-10 seconds, 15-20 seconds, etc.

Superglue Removal is needed to remove glue from fingers and the model.  It to is available from hobby shops and hardware stores.

Putty will also be needed to fill any minor imperfections such as pinholes.  Just sand down the putty to a smooth finish.
