..YOU MUST GET a sonic knife. Even then, some of the places they are attached to are easily marred or even destroyed as you try to remove the sprue.
SSModel has great subject matter but are festooned with those "printing sprues". They cut up their hulls into at least three parts with no provision for alignment. You will have to devise a method on your own.

Hello All, I have been away from the hobby for a few years and now I see that 3D printed resin ships are a thing. Have any of you built any of these ships in 1/350 or 1/200 scale. How do they compare to older resin models and plastic. What glues and paints work best with them. Thanks for anything you can share.
