I need some help here, Tsukuda Nausicaa 1/6th

Ok, so the 19th was my birthday and this kit, along with some other Nusicaa kits.

I thought the kit was Vinyl, but it seems to not be, im not sure what it is.

So im confused now on how to proceed.

It's not easy to tell from the photos, but they appear to be made of either resin, or moulded plastic.

Is it soft and pliable or hard and crisp?

Either way, you've certainly got your work cut out for you with those kits!!

At first I thought it was Vinyl, but when it came solid and the main body of the figure weighed ALOT I thought it was either plastic or Resin The plastic is hard

The feet had some horrible mold lines on the bottom so I decided to try a needle file on them. It filed them down fairly easily but it didn't feel like any plastic I have dealt with before and it doesnt smell like any resin I have dealt with.

Its not that im worried its just that I dont want to go about getting rid of those seams the wrong way and damage the kit.

It sounds like resin to me, but perhaps someone else could postulate an alternate theory.

Hi,
We call it "POLY" in Asia, in gereral it's a kind of cheap resin.(compare to P.U.)
You can treat it as resin.(P.U.)
If I were you, I will build the other four colored plastic kits first because they are much easier.
Happy Building,
Kwen.
