Assembly and finishing

Small parts require careful preparation when separating pieces from the sprues and removing flash. Proper glue for plastic models and fine painting will help bring out the weapons, straps, leather equipment, and metal components. Weathering can then be used to help integrate the accessories into a First World War figure or diorama.
