    this looks great. Resin castings are tricky to paint. you need to prep the surface, prime and paint them very differently than plastic. I had several nightmares painting the Monolith HOS set; even with resin specific primers applied.

    Also, light tents are KEY. you can get them as cheap as $30 on ebay, and worth EVERY penny.

    Found this cool wikiHow article about working with resin. This might help in the future Orio.

    Also, I forgot to note - your photos turned out nice for a first bash as well man!

    Thanks!!

    He is :) 

    I can't wait to see what other people do with this kit!

    :bowdown: 

    It never occured to me until I posted this thread that the paints might nod adhere to resin the way it would to plastic. Hopefully this means when I tackle a plastic project I won't have too many issues. Thanks for the comments Mike! :) 

    Grazzie!

    Neat man! Should put that up on kidbash. Will probably help a lot of people. And thanks for the pic comment. Thanks for the light tent!

    Oh-Oh-Oh,
    Who's that bot with the Orio cookie...

    That song's going to be stuck in my head all night now.
    Great work on this Orio, and your Swindle fits right in to complete the look :)
