On now to this young lady ...a warrior for sure fighting for the pride of her race and to right previous wrongs
As always the parts are very well packed between 3 foam layers with the top having cutouts holding the resin safely in place
On opening the well formed stylish box we are treated to a story card as always a nice touch and something to collect and enjoy , reading is easy with a story of Alai being well written
A story on one side with the Galapagos seal and with concept artwork on the other
The piece consists of 13 parts , the main torso ,head, left hand , right arm, cloak , 2 feather attachment pieces , 3 hair pieces , sword blade and the upper sword handle and finally a base
Prep
This is minimal on all pieces consisting of easy to access casting remnants , the hair side pieces are a little fiddly to locate but look good when on place , the sword was slightly bent on my sample but this is easily solved by rubbing with your natural finger warmth ...or if you are careful ...hot water dip.
Plan you build parts fit is excellent , I suggest you dry fit first the arms and then paint and add once access to the torso is completed .
General comments
Main Torso
Alai wears a cloak the work on the folds and the way it sits on the torso is spot on
On the right upper arm some nicely worked mail , the lower arms on the piece are armoured with the left arm being cast onto the torso ....at the lower arm this is accurately done to accept the gloved hand and also the cloak piece that hangs over the arm itself
On the garment she wears there is very neat lacing this is echoed on the left arm ...very sharp detail sculpting , there is also lacing at the neck area holding in armour , coming out of this is the collar with decoration engraved on it
Our warrior is armoured well on the breast area's , I am happy to say that everything isnt overdone in respect her female form
The actual breast armour is a delight to look at the right side having a winged piece ...well done , along the inside edge there are small feathers , accentuating the female form , the same details are on the left side except the winged parts
The icing on the cake as regards her torso is without doubt the lions head on the left shoulder , glittering with feather detail around the edges ........a triumph
On the underside there is a roundel for locating the base or for drilling to place a brass rod in plus a signature stamp
Now to the Head
A demure looking young lady with some very delicate features , a slight turned up nose , lips slightly open , the eye details are excellent , beautifully formed shape with good definition
Her ears are pointed ..of course and again well detailed ...casting again shows this up well
At the sides there are locating holes for the side hair pieces with a shaping at the rear for her pony tail fit
Gary mentioned a casting line on his ...I had to look really hard o my piece ..but its easy to deal with
The hair is well done particularly on the left being plaited with tiny bows in each one , on the right her hair tresses are running behind the ear , very natural in look .
At the back it looks a little soft in definition but not detrimental to the piece
Fit to the collar area of the torso is simple and secure

General comments
- Casting is very high quality
- The definition of all the sculpted areas is equally of the same high quality
- Resin is super smooth on all pieces ...no air bubbles or blemishes
- For me its a small 1/10th comparing with others I have here
