5th Special Forces Group OEF - Regt S4 review

[Guy]

RS4-007
Regimental S-4 Miniatures
5th Special Forces Group OEF Afghanistan
1/9th scale (200mm)
sculpted & painted by Nick Majerus
7 parts resin

This 200mm, 1/9th scale bust is cast in light yellow resin with 7 parts comprising the kit.

The kit is packaged in a light cardboard box with ample styrofoam chips to ensure no damage (removed for review).

Above we see the four sides of the chest with light mold sprue on the underneath side to clean off.

Above are the four views of the head with light sanding needed on the hat brim and trimming of the mold sprue underneath the neck.

Above we have the head fitted down into the neck.

The ammo pouches are cast together on the same sprue with light clean-up needed with a scalpel or xacto knife.

A resin plinth is included and sloped to match the slope of the chest.

A complete color guide with Historical note is included. Colors are given with Vallejo numbers used for the box art.

Conclusion:
An excellent kit from Regimental S-4 with minimal clean-up required. Reccommended.

I have this bust,really like it.....I also would recommend it to anyone interested in a good bust of a modern era soldier. Well cast and very minimal clean up required on my casting also.

I think from your pictures that the sculpting of the figure looks very rough, the beard and the hair doesn’t impress and the border of the glasses looks uneven. The details of the hat and the equipment I would expect a higher standard of, especially in this scale.

My judgement is that the figure is not in standard of what you would expect from the figures that are being released today.

Just my impression and point of view from the pictures,
