Hello everyone!

I've just started making tutorial videos and I wanted to get the word out a bit. Below is a link to the latest installment in a series of video tutorials titled Wargame Miniatures Basics. This series is indented to provide basic techniques for the absolute beginner.

This installment talks about getting your model off the sprue and cleaning it up for painting!

If you take a look please comment on what you think, I'm pretty new to this and I'm looking for all the constructive feedback I can get.

Loved the baking soda. I will be using that very soon to fix some of my mistakes.

Great tutorial! Really looking forward to the future parts.

While in depth, the use of an exacto knife and the cutters has worked wonders for me. I generally only use sandpaper to remove super-glue on things that have broken off, or if there's a few micrometers of protrusions left after I used the cutter.

The baking soda trick is great, and if I ever get a model with holes in it, I know what I'm going to do.
