I've probably bought more resin figures from them than any other company and have never had any problem with them. I wonder if it was the PVA glue that caused your problem? I also saw that PDF you mentioned and it's a nice little tutorial.<br /><br />Best of luck from Bryan.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-20442891889329631472017-11-05T13:07:29.939+00:002017-11-05T13:07:29.939+00:00Thanks for a a very enthusiastic review Bryan and ...Thanks for a a very enthusiastic review Bryan and I'm looking forward to reading a game report :-)The Wargame Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654413349305659155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-18264805138715769812017-11-05T10:40:54.203+00:002017-11-05T10:40:54.203+00:00Thanks Bryan.

I did actually find a .pdf over on the companies website last night showing how they went about prep and painting, so I'll follow that and hope it works.<br /><br />The figure that I had a failure with was a funny type of resin that I'd not encountered before - a miniature from Black Scorpion - and I washed it in warm soapy water, cleaned it with an old toothbrush, and then gave it a coat of pva glue solution to seal the resin (as this is what I do with resin buildings). But in the case of the figure it failed to work. It might have been the pva glue on the resin (as it was a different type of resin to the stuff used by miniature buildings in the hobby), I just don't know. Any way, I'm 99% certain I'm going to buy Rumbleslam, this afternoon, so will just crack on with the figures when they arrive. <br /><br />Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-50541117322256060642017-11-04T22:31:23.020+00:002017-11-04T22:31:23.020+00:00Hi, Roy.

I did give them a quick wash in warm soapy water. It is something I always do with resin figures and it's not that big a chore. <br /><br />It sounds like on your failure that there was still release oil on your resin figure, which will explain why the paint didn't adhere well. I know that some people don't like resin figures but I do like them a lot. If that is all that is holding you back I'd say give them a try. You may just well end up liking them. ;-)Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-68045309206223593062017-11-04T18:02:19.135+00:002017-11-04T18:02:19.135+00:00Hello Bryan,

And if so, what did you do to the figures before undercoating - did you have to wash them or anything? <br /><br />I've only ever attempted to paint one resin figure before, and it was a failure. The undercoat paint evaporating off the material, so I just gave up and have never tried another resin since. <br /><br />I've watched a Youtube video of the game, today, and its just the resin figure question that is stopping me from buying into the game - But since everyone else manages to paint resin figures, it must just be something I'm doing wrong. <br /><br />Cheers, RoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-59037995666072531572017-11-03T11:33:57.918+00:002017-11-03T11:33:57.918+00:00Good to hear from you again, Russ.

From reviews and a few video playthroughs it struck me as the wrestling equivalent of Blood Bowl. <br /><br />If TTCombat would just publish a preview of the rules I'd be much more willing to jump in. As it is I'll try to use my Jedi powers to lean you toward a Vampi-quality (hopefully comic-strip styled) battle report.

I see a miniature as a sculpture, a piece of art. The base is a frame for a picture or plinth for the statue. I like miniatures that capture a moment in time with a striking pose or a dynamic gesture. The base is part of that moment on more involved figures and I wouldn't want to lose that.horridpersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258055637085320233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-42218970028852224912017-11-02T20:57:23.001+00:002017-11-02T20:57:23.001+00:00This intriguing game has become a must have - is t...This intriguing game has become a must have - is there a solo option?Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-69208812032867095342017-11-02T19:59:26.174+00:002017-11-02T19:59:26.174+00:00Thanks for the review, Bryan.
