How To: Assemble A Miniature

[@Lamadredetuamigo]

Been in the hobby since I was 12, I still find these videos very useful for both veterans and newcomers. Awesome video.

[@13Robzilla]

Man you guys just keep pumping stuff out like mad. Your R&D guys are off the chain. Not only all the new stuff but also the constant refinement of what you already offer.

[@TheArmyPainter]

Thanks Rob! We've had a heavy schedule of releases, and we're excited to get back to our core products and showcase them to the world.

@@TheArmyPainter Now we just need to modify/upgrade the ordering process to truly let the Army Painter live up to its name. Think of your limited time/edition paint sets that are tied to a game (Zombicide invader bundle for example.) I would love to see that built into a way to order for the client's army project. Just get one of those bundles but swap it for multiple choice based on your offerings. You could literally lead the client through their choices and give them options. The goal for anybody to go to army painter be able to make a set for their project. I have mentioned this multiple times through email for years. I would be happy to work with you on this as I really think it would put you over the top where you deserve to be IMHO!

Solid! Top KEK! Peace be with you.

This is great I think it's a great video for any hobbyist regardless, of experience level always good to check up on fundamentals IMO.

Really good video. Looking forward to the rest!

A note on glue: some types of plastic - notably PVC-based ones, like the ones used in Reaper's Bones miniatures - don't work well with plastic glue. If you're assembling Bones minis, use superglue. And don't use spray can primer on those either!

Nice!

I have unsteady hands, and even a tool like the tweezers probably will not help me to hold and place the tiny parts precisely. I have just been looking at some of the 'helping hands' products (mostly marketed to assist soldering electronics) and wondered if you or anyone reading this has had any experience using such things for miniature assembly? One misgiving is that the metal alligator clips most of these use might damage the plastic.

[@THAC0Factor]

I've found that a soft texture soap works great to clean mini's. Most of the hand soaps on the market do have some sort of very fine grit in them, that can leave marks on the models.

[@TheArmyPainter]

Generally we recommend dish soap.

Plenty of great advices here. May seems obvious for those who already know but not so much until you learn about them. The only thing I'm wondering here is about filling resin minis as I've been told not to do so to avoid to get any resin powder in my lungs (definitely don't want that to happen).

[@TheArmyPainter]

Definitely wear a mask ;)

[@13Robzilla]

Another tip is to wet sand while wearing a mask. By getting the piece or sandpaper wet you can greatly minimize the dust in general and a mask means it wont get you.

[@victorsoto8223]

Excellent video, but would be perfect if the vioce could sound more strong the nex time

[@Himle_]

A dab of paint on top of the paperclip makes it much easier to drill in the right spot.

[@TheArmyPainter]

Great tip!

[@kueppe]

I think u should mention your super glue activator. I dont even remember how I make models glue before ...

[@familieversteegh1712]

*Prefit the miniature parts before using glue
