So I don't really play Warhammer, but I am a bit of a hobbyist and i like to build models. my friend has a whole butt load of eldar tanks, walkers, and space wolves that all need to be build. so i was just curious. how do you guys build lots of models all at the same time? do you cut all the sprues and organize them in containers and build the guys a few parts at a time? the more detail about your process, the better. i would like to add that i like to make REALLY sure i get all the mold lines, so that needs to be taken into consideration when doing this kind of stuff.

thanks!

I am sure everyone has their own ways of doing things. Personally I build one at a time, then paint en masse.

I like to build them one piece per model at a time. Ie. the legs for all the models before moving on to torsos etc.

I find this best for mold line cleaning as I can get to all of them easier this way.

If Im doing... say 20 or so marines or eldar, I'll clip all parts and put them in a bead case. Then I'll clean them up while watching TV.
When assembling; I glue the feet to bases, then by the time I get to torsos, the feet are dry. Then carry on.
