Normally the fit and engineering of Games Workshop models is exquisite. But how much work is needed to build the new Beast Snagga Nob on the Smasha Squig..... and what do you need to do to fix it?

In this video, Jon takes on this build and explains what it takes to get rid of sprue nubs, stress marks, gaps, join and mould lines, to get it this beautiful model ready to paint.

It does not matter if you are building Tabletop Mini's, Gunpla, Scale Models, or anything else within the world of modelling. Flying Raven Studios is exploring the world of miniature modelling to help you get the best information so you can get the most out of your hobby.
