I finally decided to realize my mordian dreams. I plan a large purchase form victoria miniatures. I have no experience about their products. I hoped to get some opinions advice from someone who has used their miniatures. Are they easy to clean, cut and glue? Do they require a lot of knife work before assembly. What glue do you use?
Finally how do they measure scale wise to the regular GW minitures?
Thank you in advance

They're about the same size as Cadians but because they're resin it makes everything a bit harder to assemble. The arms especially you have to glue them in position perfectly in the 2-3 seconds it takes for superglue to dry. Or just buy the heads and drill and pin into standard cadians.
I bought the old metal chem mask heads with those funky, punky hairstyles a few years ago, which gave me the idea of sculpting a nozzle on my masks for my regular cadian conversions but I'll get back to the Vic head conversions ... after I've caught up with a few armies.

I bought the Highlanders Squad of 10.
I used Super and Green stuff/ Liquid Green stuff.
The main body and legs had small gaps around the back when glued togeather. It wasn't anything major and simple to fix without destroying detail.
The arm's, you need to be accurate, with how they fit the model, then glue when you find the correct fit.
Easy to cleen up, Mold lines aren't a big deal compaired to Cadian box set.

well individually it sounds easy, but once you realize you shall have to repeat the process 50 times.... nevertheless the miniatures look beautiful.
Thank you for the advice.

Everything that was said above is true. But the final models are well worth the trouble of dealing with the resin.
