Post-Printing

This is the first time I’ve used ResinAway instead of IPA. I bought a sample bottle and gave it a try.

Pro: does strip liquid resin

Con: the smell is awful.
Con: the model didn’t seem to dry under the airbrush. Remained slippery.

Used clippers to remove supports before curing. Some minor knobs, mostly son screen and buttons, to clear with a knife.

Space Marine Devestator for scale only

I lost two balls on the top removing supports. One with my grip while clipping U supports, the other just popped off when clipping the support of a ball. The thickness of the clippers popped it off at the other end.
