Tldr;
Wanting to paint a Mirko figure soon, got everything printed, but the pegs and holes aren’t perfect. Was told to sand/trim parts to get them to fit right, but videos I’ve found aren’t quite good enough for me to understand. If anyone has time to live help me in vc, that’d be greatly appreciated. Pics for reference

You might have to grind away resin or fill gaps
Or even use a heat gun to bend parts
It's pretty uncommon for a large figure to just snap together with 0 issues
The sanding and trimming doesn't really need a video
If a piece/part blocking a clean connection , you grind/cut/sand it off

I definitely need to gain experience with this, have not done it a single time so far. I just can’t find any information on how best to go about learning
red ether
You just do it
Not really like a defined path since every part of every model is different
Gap filling, you can find videos on
The rest is just removing material when you think it needs to be

I mean more of like how lol. I have a dremel and some bits, but don’t wanna attack it and it ends up being the completely wrong piece to use
red ether
Literally just attack it and choose the piece you think will go best at it
Just go slow and test fit
Idk how else to explain it. Like trying to explain how to sand something flat.
It's a lot harder to overthink this than under think it

I seem to be defying logic then lol
Maybe this will make it easier for me. Do you notice a particular piece I should use to try to get things to fit?
red ether
The one that fits in the spot you are trying to grind/sand down and will give you the general profile you need
I know this seems nebulous but it's really just choosing something that fits and giving it a shot
Going too small just means it'll take longer
Like the buffing wheels won't do anything

Started raw dogging it and get it now lol. Not fully but was able to get the foot to fit in base well enough. Any advice on how to determine what to shave down when it won't fit properly or has some slack?
The leg part in particular here
And arm connection here, can’t quite get it
red ether
That's when it's the most annoying. I would probably grind down whatever is the most hidden away
That way if you make a mistake you can just fix it easy without needing to match the exterior

Gotcha. Any indication to shave the top of a peg? Due to depth issue maybe
