Anyone got any tips on working with resin minis? Mostly for removing the mold lines and for cleaning them up but any advise/tips could be helpful to me and anyone else that might be wondering. Searched in here and the tutorials section and resulted in a lot of pages filled with every reply to every thread that had the word resin in it. I gave up looking after about 15 pages.......

Well it's not that spectacular. Be sure to wash the pieces before assembly with some soap and water to clean them of mold release.
There are loads of different types of resin, but generally it's more brittle than plastic and metal, so be sure to pin heavy/thin parts.
Mold lines works the same as with plastic and resin. File and hobby knife. Don't go sniffing the resin dust, that's bad for you (but if you're not working with power tools you can get away without protection)

Painting is the same as ever.

Only difference from plastic is washing them and pinning them.

It is possible to be allergic (like me) to resin, unlike plastic (I think), so watch out for that. I just wear latex gloves and varnish it before attaching it to plastics, metals or plastiresin. You Most likely wont need to bother. I always do it outside, no matter what.

Don't sniff it though.
