I was looking to buy a Resin Kit as means of some kind of project to do at some point in time, and I was just wondering if anyone here has had experience putting them together or building ones from scratch and what the experience is like? I like the idea of a time eater project and maybe something cool to put together and paint, and I'm guess I'm wondering if there's anything I should be aware of from the get go.

I've glued models before, but this seems different due to the fact this would be in bigger pieces that go together, but then you have to seal up joints and possibly sand away excess. The latter isn't so much of a problem but the former has left me curious as to how it's done. I'm looking up tutorials but I'm looking to see if there's a sort of "Ramp up" difficulty or something.

Also, as most professional kits demand larger prices, I was curious as to what other tools I'd need to invest in. My dad has a warehouse of tools I can probably use, whether it be soldering equipment or whatever, not that I think that would actually be needed. But I don't actually know. Possibly tools depend on the kind of kit as well?
