The metal figurines<\/strong><\/a> made by Artesan\u00eda Latina provide great realism<\/strong> to the wooden model ships<\/strong><\/a> where they are placed. They are the icing on the cake<\/strong> when the modeler has finished assembling any model on a naval scale. Currently, we have a wide assortment with different sets and crews sold individually that will be further expanded in the future. In this sense, many of our modelers friends have asked us on numerous occasions how to paint the figurines of the models<\/strong>. Well then, we are going to explain the process<\/strong> through a video tutorial<\/strong><\/a> made by our team of professional modelers.<\/p>\n

But, first of all, we must remind you that, if necessary, you have to assemble or glue the two parts<\/strong> with which any of the figurines<\/strong> are formed<\/strong>. To do this, we strongly recommend that you use any of the cyanoacrylates<\/strong><\/a> from Artesan\u00eda Latina -sold separately- to obtain an optimal result <\/strong>-with the spray accelerator drying is faster-. If you wish, you can apply the glue with one of the two adhesive applicators<\/strong> included in the Set of Micro Saws, Applicators and Scriber<\/strong><\/a> (27302), for sale separately.<\/p>\n

Let’s start painting the figurines thanks to the fantastic video masterclass of our professionals, for which you have to prepare them first.<\/p>\n
