Modeler’s Guide for WWI Resin Logistics Kits

To bring this WWI French/Belgian scene to life, please follow these standard assembly and finishing steps:

1. Preparation: Wash all resin parts in warm, soapy water to remove mold release. This is critical for ensuring your primer bonds to the intricate textures of the WWI civilian clothing.

2. Assembly: Use Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) for all joins. The thin resin reins and the wagon's wheel spokes are delicate; handle with care during the bonding of the WWI horse and harness.

3. Wood Finishing: To replicate the aged wood of a WWI French farm cart, apply a dark brown wash over a tan base coat, then "dry-brush" with a lighter grey to highlight the weathered grain.

4. Refinement: Use a sharp hobby knife to remove any resin "flash" from the horse’s legs and the gaps in the WWI Belgian wagon wheels.

5. Safety: Always wear a dust mask when sanding or trimming resin parts and work in a well-ventilated area.
