In late 2011, I started the assembly, hoping to have it finished for Migennes Collector 2012's convention, where I first exhibited my little Space1999 collection.

The first step in a resin kit is invariably a stage of cleaning the parts.

Molding seams are sanded. Despite it was important on the 2 long upper tanks (which is often difficult to catch up on cylindrical or spherical parts as the curvature usually takes a hit in such situation), but ultimately, there was rather excess material to be removed so it went well.

Filling bubbles with small plastic rods and superglue. They are not numerous, and mainly located at:

  • Small discs feet
  • The neck of the central module

The back of the cheeks of the head is the most difficult place to clean, because the bubbles are tiny, located just below the surface, and are concentrated near a joint molding. I did not notice on the first side, and with this type of bubbles, it is extremely difficult to catch.

I was much lighter on the other side and was able to avoid a second headache.

Seeing the volume of work, and what I still had to do on the dioramas, I had to put the kit on pause.
