Celtic Warrior 1st Century bc
1/10th scale resin - 8 parts
Sculpted by Ahn Jun Sik
Painted by Ju Won Jung

On December 25, 2004 I posted my first review from a sample sent to me by Young Miniatures. This was review number one of my reviews. Tonight I am posting review number 400, which is a Young Miniature kit above. Young has sent me all but one kit to review over the five years he has been in business. Young Miniatures just celebrated their 5th year in business and have brought us some of the best figures and busts available on the market.

All together PlanetFigure has 713 reviews in their Archive which can be seen here

The Celtic Warrior kit sculpted by Ahn Jun Jung comes in Youngs trademark heavy duty black cardboard box with a clear sleeve around the box to keep it closed. The kit is cast in a light yellow resin and consists of 8 resin parts sandwiched between layers of foam for protection during shipping.

Above we see multiple views of the head showing the detail Ahn has sculpted into the face and hair.

Above we see multiple views of the chest showing the excellent detailing of the fur, necklace and Boar's hoofs.

Above are several views of the separate cast Boar's head cape. The attention to detail is awesome with the dry-fitment of the cape to the shoulders needing no filling.

Above you see the dry-fitting of the head down into the cavity of the neck with the necklace covering the joint.

Above you see just the Boar's Head cape dry-fitted to the back with the head removed. Note on the side the joint of the cape to the torso. Excellent fit.

Above you see all three major parts of the bust dry-fitted together to give you an idea of how he looks.

Above we see some of the separate cast parts such as the knife and the boar's hoofs. There are also cast 2 boar's teeth which would be fastened to the Boar's head.

Above is Young's traditional bust plinth cast in resin.

Above are a couple of additional box art photos of the finished bust.

Conclusion:
An excellent kit from Young this month with dry-fitting of parts excellent.
Highly recommended + for this kit.

Guy,
With all the revieuws you have made the planet one of the best site's for figurepainting in my opinion. Your revieuws are top and also is the photography.
When i wanted to buy a figure, i always look first if there is a revieuw.
Keep going with this my friend.

I have to concur with Marc here many thanks for all the hard work you put in
Guy-trust us, greatly appreciated, the quality of the sculpting and casting is always a cause for very high praise for Young and the driving force behind these miniatures, there are a lot of good even excellent offerings in a very changed market compared to say 10 years ago, makes one very dedicated to
purchasing and completing these very beautiful pieces.
Our humble thanks as always Guy, RobH.
