How many figures are included in the set?

The set includes 12 individual figures.

What type of paint should I use?

Acrylic model paints are generally recommended for figures like these. Always use a suitable primer before painting.

Are these figures suitable for beginners?

Yes, they are suitable for beginners interested in model building and dioramas, provided they are prepared for the painting step.

Troubleshooting

Figures are difficult to paint or hold paint poorly.

Ensure figures are thoroughly cleaned with mild soap and water to remove any mold release agents. Allow figures to dry completely before priming. Use a quality model primer designed for plastic or resin figures.

Figures do not stand steadily on the model base.

Check if the base of the figure is uneven. You can carefully sand the bottom of the figure's base to make it flat. Alternatively, use a small amount of modeling glue or a specialized scenic adhesive to secure the figure to the surface.

Paint colors do not match desired scheme.

Experiment with different paint brands and color combinations on a test figure or scrap material. Thin paints with the appropriate medium for smoother application and better color blending.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds immediate realism and scale to model layouts.
  • High level of detail on each figure.
  • Unpainted nature allows for complete personalization.
  • Cost-effective way to populate large scenes with multiple figures.

Cons

  • Figures require painting, adding an extra step for users.
  • Small parts may require careful handling during painting or assembly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These figures are designed for immediate use after painting. Ensure figures are clean and dry before applying primer and paint. Bases on some figures may require slight trimming or sanding to sit flush on your chosen surface. Applying a small amount of model glue or a suitable adhesive may be necessary for securing them to dioramas or bases.

Compatibility: This set is specifically designed for 1:50 scale models. Compatibility is highest with other 1:50 scale model vehicles, buildings, and accessories. While the figures can be used in slightly different scales, their accuracy will be best maintained within the intended 1:50 scale.

Care: Handle figures with care, especially after painting, to avoid chipping paint. Store figures in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent damage or discoloration. If figures become dusty, gently clean them with a soft, dry brush. Avoid using water or solvents on painted figures unless specified by your paint manufacturer.
