Help Finecast? Astrolith bearer

Yes, that looks OK to me. All resin models I have are easy to build and nightmares to clean of all that crap. You have tiny triangles of resin to cut away everywhere, and those resin canals are attached everywhere.

That's because resin (compared to plastic) is cast with much less pressure and only from one direction.

EDIT:
Oh wait, the skull broken off is not normal I think.

 

The skull has broken off the banner but not a major issue, trim what excess you can easily see then mist coat the model with primer, it will highlight the rest for you.

Mist coat = a thin coat just to bring out detail, we use it when spraying car wheels to show imperfections.

 

They should just ditch it. It is worse than plastic in about every regard.
My orc-playing friend built one or two resin models and then he decided he will never build a resin model again. So whenever he looks for new models to build his first question to answer is: "Resin or plastic?" If it is resin he doesn't even look at it anymore so he doesn't get angry if it looks cool.
I am not as zealous, but I understand it. I hope we get plastic Razordons, Salamanders, Skink Handlers, Chameleon Skinks, Slanns, Eternity Wardens, Sunbloods, Astrolith Bearers and Starseers soon.

 

I don't think they use it any more and reverted back to plastic, I could be wrong.

 

AFAIK you are right, I don't know of any new resin models except from Forgeworld, and those probably use a different, more expensive sort of resin that allows fore detailed stuff.

 

I don't know what @Solabar uses but I have used 3 so far.

1. GW purity seal- very easy to get a milky finish
2. Testors- this stuff is really good but expensive
3. Army painter Anti-shine- this is just as good as Testors and a fraction of the price, my goto lacquer now.

 

Don't be scared they only go milky if it's too cold or you apply too much too soon, I apply a quick coat then leave it 10 minutes and then apply another coat and then a final 3rd coat.

Spray paints tend to sag, drip etc due to the solvent that is put in too keep it thin, if you spray and leave it for a few minutes the solvent starts to evaporate and the paint becomes tacky this is the ideal time to apply your next coat as it grabs the paint and holds it in place.

 

Same here. I have bought the GW varnish, and I will try it. On one or two small models first.
