Building

Let's get building!

Now that you know how to cut out parts from a sprue, lets cover how to build a mini. First look at your instructions and start at step one. It will tell you all of the parts you need and where they go. I recommend cutting out all the parts you need first before trying to assemble. Once you have all of the parts shown, now you'll put them together.

If your building a gunpla produt the parts are simply able to be fit together like a lego. For most other minis like warhammer however, you will need to use your modeling glue to stick the parts together. The instructions should give a clear outline of where the glue needs to be applied. Once you apply the glue to the mini hold the two pieces together until the glue dries. Then you simply rinse and repeat until you've finished that step in the instructions and you can move on.

The Process

Customization

Many miniture kits will give you more than one way to build a mini. Things like alternate helmets, diffrent weapons, or little extra bits are great ways to personalize your mini and make it stand out. Some mini's also come with ways to change there pose and how they stand. The instructions will always let you know when a step is either optinal or features custimization feature. So feel free to play around and make your mini, YOUR mini.
