Hi Tommy,
Cut the parts, remove the mould lines with a very sharp, fresh hobby knife blade.
Assemble with thick gel type superglue (cyanocrylate), spray some superglue accelerator on the assemblies then wash under water immediately so the accelerator does not attack the vinyl.
Once assembly is complete, prime with suitable primer paint (I like Tamiya's grey surface primer in a spray can).
Once primer is thoroughly dry, paint as you would any other type of figure.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Christophe |
