Hey all, I picked up some shadespire models, and when I try to file them it creates scars and a sawtooth effect. Is this only on easy to build models, because on regular models this doesn’t happen. Anyone know how to fix this?

The colored plastics seem to be a little bit different than the grey stuff.

(heck I had primed a bunch of new skaven shade spire with corax white and the color shifted to a green it was strange)

you can get rid of the scratch with a fine grit sanding stick pretty easily and even then it shouldn't matter too much as a primer will fill most of the smaller scratches

the bigger stuff you may need to sand

I am using a fine grit sanding stick. Thanks for the quick reply!

Appears to be too soft. Try sandpaper instead.

Soft? i dunno i find the colored stuff to be much harder.

Eh ether way elbow grease is required.

Scrape with a blade, maybe?

Nail buffing pads are great for this.
