We can see that there are at least four different kinds of resins or waxes in this model.

Although we can’t identify most of the resins based on their fluorescence, we can see that there are at least four different kinds of resins or waxes in this model: the orange fluorescing shellac is only found on the life-size version (see figure 1), the others are marked in the image above with green arrows, white circles, and orange circles. The bluish fluorescence in the white circles could be a later addition from a previous repair.
