I recently got my first Forgeworld kit, and I noticed something odd while I was cleaning the pieces. I was rinsing the model for the final time and I had them in a container of water. I saw there were tiny bubbles on the parts. They were all a uniform size, but I couldnt tell if it was bubbles of air or bubbles of water (while submerged in water). The process I took to wash the parts: 1) I first let them soak for a few minutes submerged in 91% Isopropyl. 2) I then scrubbed each piece thoroughly with a soft toothbrush. 3) Rinsed with tap water 4) I let them soak for about 10 minutes in a small tub of hot water with Dawn (plain) soap. 5) parts were again scrubbed with a soft Toothbrush in the soapy water. 6) Rinsed with Tap water multiple times. It was during the final rinsings that I noticed the bubbles. I probably rinsed the parts 4 or 5 times, and each time, they would have these bubbles. I'm kind of out of my league at this point and could use some advice. -
Decided I'd post my progress with these guys since I've made several posts about the trouble they've been giving me on more than one occasion. Biggest issue I'm dealing with at the moment is getting rid of the excess resin on three of the packs. For reference, here's what they looked like at first: Here's where they are now. Not sure how much more I'll be able to fix them up. Shaved down the back of one marine so far since the part of the pack that's supposed to join there is plugged with resin. I hope that once I get to attaching arms, heads and shoulder pads things will start to move along faster. UPDATE 1: Sergeant and company UPDATE 2: 5/5/2019 17:55EST Four more put together. 6 out of 10 Intercessors Assembled UPDATE 3: 10/10 Intercessors Assembled A couple of days late, but they're finally all put together. The final four. Complete squad. And just added the final touch last night by gluing their bolt pistols and a handful of knives to the men of this squad, not that it's very visible in the photo.

Greetings Fellow Brothers! I bought a set of Deimos Rhinos from FW to round up my Legions. The kits are fine, but unfortunately the majority of the resin hull elements are bent. On one-two it is almost indiscernible, but others look really bad. I would ask for your help and advice. I worked with resin before, but they where only infantry models, with nearly no warping. But these fault really annoy me. Is a hairdryer and some cold water enought to bent them back a little bit? Or is there more finesse needed?
