Hello I bought they beautiful King Of War from creature caster and I glued everything together only to find the torso shifted and now won't fit to the pose it needs to be in. How do I take it apart and start again without ruining the model? I tried to pull it apart cause its super glue and resin but its stuck on there pretty good.

First step would be to pop it into the freezer for a bit (an hour or two), which should make the super glue brittle and easier to break.

I'm sure others will be along with additional suggestions. I've found that in some instances, I needed to pry, which can be tough with resins.

Note that the 'freezer method' works best if you put the model into a ziploc bag or the like with a small amount of water overnight.

A few hours can work if you're just trying to separate a small contact point, but anything beyond that? You must give it time.

When you do start manipulating the joint, getting you thumb in as close as possible as to not stress the rest of the arms and it should snap apart.

Are there any keys on the mating surfaces?
