Revell Orc Thrall in 1/16 scale is a character-style model kit with a lot of presence: large size, sharp details on the armour and cloak, and a final result that looks great on display. It’s a very enjoyable project whether you want a straightforward build or feel like investing time in a more advanced paint job.

Recommended assembly

• Preparation: clean up mould lines and refine joins with sanding tools for model kits.
• Clean gluing: for precise joins, use Revell Contacta Professional cement or check more options in adhesives.
• Display-quality finish: if you want seamless joints, rely on putties, for example Vallejo Plastic Putty 70400.

Painting and recommended materials

To achieve an orc look with strong contrast and depth, start with a solid basecoat and finish with shadows and varnish:

• Primer: choose from our primers. For a quick spray option, try Vallejo Black Primer Spray 28012.
• Paints: find suitable colours and metallics in our paints for models and miniatures.
• Brushes: for edges and fine details, see our brushes, for example the Vallejo Detail Brush Set B02991.
• Final varnish: protect your work with Vallejo varnishes, and for selective shine, use Vallejo Acrylic Gloss Varnish 26517.
