​

I recently received a couple of 75mm kits from Stuart Hale, Stormtrooper Miniatures. Continueing with Stormtrooper's reputation of casting quality, these kits were both of exceptional quality. The first is their 75mm resin cast Border Reiver. 9 resin parts plus a brass rod included for the staff.​

Arriving in sturdy white boxes with all parts sealed inside a bubble-wrap envelope with the smaller parts further sealed inside a small zip-lok bag. I also noticed that in support of Planetfigure, Stuart had "Visit planetfigure" labels attached to the ends of each kit box.​

Above you see the 9 resin parts plus the brass rod comprising the 10 parts of this kit.​

You won't be disappointed Marc, it's a lovely well balanced figure with just the right amount of detail.
Although I suggest replacing brass rod for a same gauge tube, makes fitting the lancehead much easier.
