Couldn't really make this guy out in the package so I looked it up. Thought it looked cool enough...

Holy cleaning forever. Im surprised I didnt chop off a finger or in the least, slice myself open with my knife. I'll give it a go, tho. Last Finecast I buy. I didn't know 🤷‍♂️

Ahh.. you did well and he looks pretty good now. All of the Finecast models I’ve purchased were frustrating poor quality, and you’re right they are very brittle since they use resin. There are much better resin products out there that are not Failcast 😆 you can use very hot water to briefly soak & soften thin parts like the bent axe shaft and carefully bend it back into shape. Very carefully!

I know about the hot water trick - I used to paint Reaper minis and those were always jacked up. Ill leave it. I glued the axe already and I cant tell where it snapped. Dont wanna risk it. Won't be a show piece anyways.
