 Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Mantic Quick Tips. We have had a lot of feedback so thank you very much for that and we have tested different angles and stuff and now we think we've got our sweet little set up. So thank you very much to Matt the video guy for setting this all up and hopefully you can see everything. So I've had a lot of questions about the holiday hellboy because a lot of people have bought the products that aren't necessarily hobbyists and they just want to know how to assemble it and if this is what it should look like. So this is how you should get it out of the box. The little bits on the bottom of the model, that is how we cast the model itself. So they are supposed to be there, they are not a defect. What you have to do is you will have to do a bit of preparing for these. So first things first is I always recommend washing the model in warm not hot because if you make it too hot you will actually bend the models. So we just want to give it a little bit of a wash in the water and this basically gets rid of any of the residue that is left on the model. So we use a mould release agent to get the mould out of the silicone without damaging them. And we are back. So we have been dried with some paper towel and now we are ready to start clipping things off. So let's start with one of the hardest parts which is the base because you are going to have a nice big chunk of flash on this one. We need to get off so what we are going to do is we are going to go in remember to keep it all aimed away from yourself and I am actually going to aim this one down which I probably should have done in one of our last videos. So it doesn't fly across the table like that. And we will have a little tiny bit left on the bottom and very very carefully we are going to cut this off. And again it is very very very important that you cut and you never file down because once you get resin into the air it is very very bad for you so I would never recommend filing. And there we go. We are nice and flat. And now we are ready for the rest of it. So let's start with Hellboy himself. Just hold on to the bottom of the flash and that will stop it from shooting across the room and also stop it putting so much stress on the actual model itself. And then we have got a little bit under the arm that we need to take off and he is ready. We just need to go in and clean up a couple of little bits. As you will get these mould lines where the two halves of the silicone mould come together you will get a slight line. So what you need to do is just gently scrape the surface and this is just going to cut off that mould line. You can actually get tools that can do this for you but I am just using the edge of a sharp blade just be very careful not to press too hard. Otherwise you will start damaging the model. We don't really need to worry about this section here because there is a bit of a mould line there but that is going to be covered by his arm so we don't really need to worry about that one so much. And then we just want to tidy up the foot because we need to stick that down to the base. He should sit flat. And then the next bit will be his arm. Now there is a couple of little tricky bits on this one and this is one of the ones that I missed when I was assembling mine. We just want to take off this little bit under the skull here again be very, very careful and then there is one that connects them just there. Then we have got another one just there. Then we have got two more pieces just meeting that up a little bit being very careful with your fingers. Luckily I am using a very blunt scalpel so and then we are going to tidy up this little piece it is two tombstones stuck together and you are going to have a little bit of flash there just underneath the cross and then another one on the other side. Now this one is a little bit hard to get to you kind of have to go in from behind being very careful not to put a lot of pressure on it because I am going to snap off the the cross part and then there is another one just there. We are going to tidy that up as well and just towards the bottom. Now be very careful not to cut off the tab at the bottom of this there is that part there we need to keep because that bit is going to go into the base so do not cut that bit off that is supposed to be there but we do not need to clean it up a little bit so it will fit into the base and then same on this one just need to cut off that piece and this piece the same with this one be careful not to cut off the little peg at the bottom because we need that to attach to the base just go in and clean up any leftover flash and make sure the base is nice and flat because we need it to be able to go into the base itself there we go and one final piece we have this mighty fist a little tombstone and then being very careful on this piece because it is very delicate as his tail just need to clean that up a little bit trying not to put too much pressure on it because we do not want to break the tail and same on this one there is a little peg at the bottom we need to make sure we do not cut that bit off and then there is a little peg in the back of his as well now we are ready to start assembling I would recommend first things first is gluing Hellboy to the base right now we are ready to attach him to the base so we need super glue for this what I am doing is just wetting the bottom of the base where his feet is going to go because there is a very cool trick with super glue that it will immediately start to react when it comes into contact with water so we just want to make the surface a little bit damp and then we are aiming you can see on the base that there is a little place for his feet to go in the middle of the base there is a little indentation for his feet to sit and then with that he is done now we are going to move on to his arm so again we are just going to put a little bit of water in there we are just going to go in line it up and then it just sits inside those two pegs that are on the body and next we are going to do his fist we want to be careful of the smaller pieces because we don't want to stick our fingers to the model itself as it does tend to hurt when you pull it off and now just his tail that just goes in the back of his outfit you can kind of position the tail where you like on this one because it will fit in a couple of different ways now we are just going to plane match up with the shape which means into the base that one sits just there they kind of go in at an angle so they lie flat down the glue on the back of it there is that one done which means that this one has to be the front one this one just like that there we go so I am just dry fitting it to make sure it goes around the right way and then this other long one goes this way hopefully it doesn't pick that up ok we have just got one more piece I think it is around the back this one is a little bit fiddly so again with the smaller pieces just be careful you don't glue your hands to the model and with that our holiday hillboy is complete so it takes a little bit of work it is not overly difficult once you know how to work with resin you need to make sure that it is clean that it doesn't feel greasy that is why we pull it into the soapy water which is just some washing up liquid some tepid almost warm water and then you dry them off and then here be ready for priming so thank you very much everyone for your feedback in the last couple of videos we have been listening and we appreciate it we are still new at this whole thing but hopefully we will have an amazing cool setup like this for our following videos also if you would like to win this assembled holiday hillboy all you have to do is head over to our Facebook page and pop a comment on the video I am sure that video Matt will put a link in I will try my hardest and we will be back soon so thank you very much everybody please like, comment, subscribe and all that good stuff and we will see you again very very soon and I love romantic quick tips
