Angelcynn Ankle Issues
Angelcynn Ankle Issues
Anyone else having issues getting the Angel models off their "spru" without the legs snapping at the ankles, i've yet to get a single model off successfully.
Re: Angelcynn Ankle Issues
Ok, you got me interested and made me go try
I got it off first time with no damage, these were the steps I took
1. Trim off the bottom sprue between the arm and foot
2. trim off the little bits of venting, starting from things like the elbow to cloke and moving down, the last bit being the one from the cloak to the bottom, starting at the cloak and then triming it arefully off the bottom, it stuck out slightly in the back so I trimmed it here
3. Trim the bottom bar to right up to the feet, angling the cuts under the feet to reduce the ammount of resin there
4. This is the part I was a little uneasy with - very carefully put a verticle cut in the bar in the middle between the feet under the body. take your time, the cut your making is applying force onto each ankle pushing it out, but if you make the cut nice and thin it wont put to much strain on the ankles, or using a saw to make the cut would work well too, less lateral force applied as your taking the material out of the cut as you saw down rather than forcing it to the side.
5. Carefully trim off the tab from each foot, now they are indipendent of each other they nt break the other one as you cut it off.
Hope this helps, if you'd like pic's of each step I can do them tomorrow

I think 3 of mine broke but they were all clean breaks that glued back together without leaving any obvious join.
The harder part was assembling Meloda.

Don't say that I'm looking at her now, I can imagine her being hell
