Assembly of Miniatures and Sculptures
Unique Personality Assemblies
Importance of Miniature Assembly
One of the most important yet sometimes undervalued processes is assembly. This process involves work that might initially go unnoticed, but it is essential for the final result.
It involves cutting or detaching all components, whether from sprues or individual pieces, cleaning both mold lines and imperfections, and then assembling them.
But they all seemed the same
In the mounting process, the goal is to give the miniature personality, regardless of the type of painting you choose. If the miniatures have different poses and options, this helps prevent them from looking identical, giving each figure a unique and distinct personality from its peers.
The different processes include cutting, sanding, cleaning imperfections and mold lines, filling and covering joints, and finally priming with a quality product to ensure the figure is perfectly prepared for painting.
Magnetization of Miniatures
Magnetizing miniatures is an advanced and popular option in our studio, ideal for those seeking greater flexibility and functionality in their gaming figures. This option can be integrated both during the assembly in our studio and for miniatures that clients prefer to assemble and then send for painting.
Magnetizing moving parts and bases is offered as an additional service to the main assembly. This process ensures that interchangeable parts stay securely in place, making storage, transport, and gameplay easier. With magnetization, you can customize and modify your figures according to the needs of each game, adding dynamism and personalization to your collection.
And what about large sculptures?
It is important to highlight that when the figure comes out of the printer, it is cleaned of resin or other materials used. From there, the sculpture requires post-processing to perfect it.
Post-processing includes sanding to ensure no imperfections remain on the sculpture. Following this, the sculpture must be assembled and putty applied to seal all elements so they appear as a cohesive whole.
This part of post-processing is so crucial that it distinguishes between an excellent product and an average one. This process is included with the printing service itself and is factored into the total price.
