Here's a picture of what I found in a cardboard box:

So, there's this 1/144 Eleshis model. It's resin(so says the sales receipt from '99), but I don't have any experience with resin, just plastic and a little metal with things like Warhammer and generic planes/ships. This thing is pretty ancient, but it's in good condition and I feel up to it this summer.
What is the usual way to prepare and put together resin models? I understand that rods like the ones that were with this are used, but I have no idea how to do this. I'd really appreciate help and patience for this mecha newbie.
