3D printed kits

[rockpopandchips]

Si I have just ordered my first 3D printed kit and know nothing about working with these kits. I have been doing my home work on these kits but I wanted know if anyone here has an good first hand experiences and can offer any tips for gluing sanding using acetone, that sort of thing. 

 

The kit I have ordered is a 26cm tall kit of the Iron Giant, i think it works out about 1/58 scale. 

 

Cheers Brian.

I've ordered a few old Wing Commander fighters that I haven't started yet in 1/72.  Be prepared to do alot of sanding. The textures are weird. I used super glue to attach parts, that seems to be working.  It's alot like working in resin.

Cheers Thud. I guess i have been lucky with the resin kits i have made have been ok. 

 

I have been watching YT for info on acetone vapor baths to save time on some on some of the work. Looks a bit scary but im getting a few extra bits, so might try it out on.
