Painting & Care Guide

Painting & Care Guide

Thank you for choosing Just Re-Roll! Our models are designed for hobbyists who love to customise and bring their miniatures to life. This guide will help you prepare, paint, and care for your 3D printed models.


🧽 Cleaning Your Model

Before painting, we recommend gently cleaning your model to remove any residue from the printing process.

Steps:

  • Rinse the model in warm (not hot) soapy water.

  • Use a soft brush (such as an old toothbrush) to clean fine details.

  • Allow the model to dry completely before priming.


βœ‚οΈ Preparing Your Model

Some models may arrive with small support marks or light surface texture. This is normal with 3D printed miniatures.

You may wish to:

  • Carefully remove any remaining support nubs with clippers or a hobby knife.

  • Lightly sand rough areas using fine-grit sandpaper (400–800 grit).

  • Test-fit any parts before gluing.

Always take care when trimming or sanding.


🎨 Priming Your Model

Priming is essential for good paint adhesion.

We recommend:

  • Using a spray primer suitable for plastic or resin models.

  • Applying thin, even coats rather than one thick coat.

  • Allowing the primer to fully cure before painting.


πŸ–Œ Painting Tips

You can paint your Just Re-Roll models using acrylic miniature paints.

Tips for best results:

  • Use thin layers of paint to preserve fine detail.

  • Allow each layer to dry before applying the next.

  • Dry brushing and washes work especially well on textured surfaces.


πŸ›‘ Sealing & Protection

Once painted, we recommend sealing your model with a clear varnish.

Options include:

  • Matte varnish for a realistic finish.

  • Gloss varnish for shiny or magical effects.

This helps protect your paintwork from handling and wear.


🧳 Storage & Handling

To keep your model in top condition:

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

  • Avoid leaving models in hot environments (such as near radiators or in cars).

  • Handle painted models by the base where possible.


⚠️ Important Safety Information

  • Not suitable for children under 14 years old.

  • Models contain small parts that may be a choking hazard.

  • Always use hobby tools with care.
