FAQs

Are these bits pre-painted?

No, these are unpainted resin accessories. They require painting and finishing to match your desired aesthetic.

What scale are these bits designed for?

They are primarily designed for 28-32mm scale miniatures, common in games like Warhammer 40,000 and Infinity.

How many pieces are included in the set?

The set contains 8 pieces of concrete ruin accessories.

What type of glue should I use?

Super glue or a plastic cement formulated for resin models is recommended for attaching these bits.

Can I combine these with other basing materials?

Yes, they are designed to be used with other basing materials such as sand, flock, static grass, and texture paints to create detailed scenes.

How should I prepare the resin bits before painting?

It is recommended to wash the bits in warm, soapy water to remove any mold release agent, then let them dry completely. Applying a primer before painting is also advised for better paint adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Resin bits have mold lines or excess material.

Carefully remove mold lines with a hobby knife or fine-grit sandpaper. For excess material, use clippers or a knife.

Glue is not adhering well to the resin.

Ensure the resin surface is clean and free of dust or mold release agent. Use a good quality super glue or a plastic cement specifically designed for resin models. A primer can also improve adhesion.

Resin piece broke during handling.

Repair small breaks with super glue. For larger breaks, consider incorporating the broken piece into the scene as part of the ruin to add realism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These bits are ready for use after a quick clean to remove any residual mold release agent. A gentle wash with warm, soapy water is recommended. Once dry, they can be attached to your miniature bases or dioramas using standard plastic cement or super glue. Consider dry-fitting the pieces to plan your composition before gluing.

Compatibility: Designed for tabletop miniature gaming bases (e.g., 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm bases) and general diorama construction. They are ideal for 28-32mm scale miniatures and fit well within the aesthetic of sci-fi and futuristic wargames. They can be combined with other basing materials like sand, flock, and static grass.

Care: Store the resin bits in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or damage. Handle gently, as resin can be brittle. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat.
