Description:
A true marvel of Hearthian engineering! (With some assembly on your end.)
This 1/58 scale Outer Wilds model kit contains all the parts and decals you need to build a model Hearthian Lander that's about 7.9 inches tall and 10.6 inches wide. (Paint and glue are not included.)
The kit's big, A4-sized instruction manual includes assembly instructions as well as paint color information and reference views of the completed model. Each kit comes fully disassembled, with the pieces arranged on 10 plastic sprues.
Q: How many pieces is the Hearthian Lander?
A: The Hearthian Lander is a 131-piece kit that includes hard plastic and soft rubber components.
Q: What will I need to build this?
A: You’ll need a few supplies that you can find at most hobby shops! These will include sprue cutters, plastic cement, and super glue, especially for the soft plastic parts. We also recommend a small file or fine-grit sandpaper for cleaning up sprue connection points if they’re noticeable.
Q: Any advice for a first time builder?
A: Be patient! Super glue and plastic cement can take a while to really set, and some parts of the kit will take more time than others - especially when attaching the legs to the ship.
Q: What kind of paint do I need?
A: We recommend acrylic model paints, since they’re easy to work with and clean up after. If you’re buying brushes for the first time, we recommend a mixed set that includes a variety of flats and rounds. For more information, check out our paint recommendations PDF!
Q: Do I need to prime the model before I paint it?
A: You can paint the bare plastic, but the paint may chip off with handling. We do not recommend priming the soft rubber components on Sprue G - primer doesn’t always dry correctly on rubbery materials!
Q: What’s up with Dark Grey Matte in the paint guide?
A: Sorry for the confusion! The long rubber hose section on Sprue G (G1, 3, 6, & 7) should be Dark Grey Matte.
Q: Some of the assembly instructions are confusing!
A: We found a few things that may be confusing to new model builders—here's some additional information.
- In steps 11 & 12, parts 1C and 2C are mixed up. Part 2C doesn’t look exactly like the part on the sprue does, but it doesn’t affect the end result!
- A few previously built sections are mislabeled in the instructions at steps 13, 17, and 32. For those, you’re just attaching the current assembly portion onto the already-built section.
Q: How does sticker J fit on?
A: Because the wires are molded into the back of the ship, the sticker should fit underneath the wire cluster. You may have to trim the sticker if it overlaps the wiring.
