lfhoule Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 A few weeks ago I bought Kromlech's "Sek'hara, handmaiden of Pain" daemon princess model for my daemon army. Nice sculpt with little prep work needed before painting. The query concerning pinning comes from the fact that, to keep my new daemon princess of Slaanesh on her base (again, resin), I was thinking of drilling a couple of holes in her feet (using a manual pin vise) and using paper clip to pin her to the base. I've heard horror stories about resin, so before attempting this, I just want to know if this possible / o.k. to do to resin. This is my first "large" resin figure I'm painting up, and whatever I do with her is probably what I'll be doing with my Creature Caster models when they come in later on. Thanks in advance.

Durus Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm curious what kind of horror stories you might have heard? I've pinned my resin minis together with no problems at all in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I ALWAYS pin everything except plastic kits, never had a problem with pinning resin, FW or otherwise. Actually, I ruined EVERY barrel on a Failcast Van Vet squad attempting to drill the barrels, it was too soft and it kept tearing straight out the side. Feet will be fine though.

lfhoule Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Admittingly, most of the stories around resin (besides the Finecast issues), has been around breathing the dust, which won't be much of an issue because I'm not going to be creating any as far as I can tell. Maybe "horror" is a bit strong, but then again, my only experiences previously with resin figures has been the Lust Demons from Fenyrll, and those were 1 piece figures. As I wrote above, this is my first larger, multi piece resin kit that I will be working on, so any advice before tackling her is always good.

Emperor's Fury Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I've pinned my resin models pin a pin vise and have never had any dust kick up. I just go through the drilling process slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durus Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 If you are worried about dust you can make the pieces wet. So dust, if there is any, will stick to the mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurth Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Polyurethane resin, of the kind most resin model kits are made of, is very easy to drill, just like it’s very easy to cut, sand, saw, and otherwise work. Pinning it is no problem at all, and easier than doing the same with a metal model. As for dust, drilling won’t create any — only slivers, and if you manage to breathe those in, people will probably already have told you to inhale less forcefully because you make the pages of their books turns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
