Article #1100-1/16
120mm resin
Sculpted by Ulrich Puchala
9 resin parts

UP-Miniaturen Centauro-Line Miniatures brings us their newest figure now cast in the USA of Claus von Stauffenberg in 120mm resin. Their moving their casting to a USA firm will help in their pricing for figure collectors world-wide.

This figure comes in a sturdy cardboard box with the parts sealed in a zip-loc bag and also wrapped in bubble wrap to cushion the figure during shipping.

Above you see 9 resin parts that make up the Stauffenberg kit. Cast is an off-white resin with no seam lines or mold lines visible. This kit is virtually ready to be washed and primed.

Above you see the four views of the head showing the eye patch and attention to detail Ulrich has sculpted into this figure. A good likeness of the actual person is excellent.

Above we have the upper torso section of the bust with attention to detail of the figure's uniform clearly seen.

Above you see several views of the hat which has a locator lug to correctly position it under the figure's right arm.

Above are the front and back of each arm. Dry-fitting was excellent to the upper torso.

Above you see the right and left leg with locator tabs on the inside to insure proper fitment when assembled.

Above you see the front and back of the briefcase and holster.

Above is a scanned and reduced copy of the color guide both in German and English as well as photographs of von Stauffenberg.

Conclusion:
An excellent kit both is sculpting and casting. Casting is much better quality than previous kits I have reviewed. Dry-fitting was excellent with no mold blocks or seams to remove. Highly recommended.

A superb figure!

Ulrich's sculpts always look very lifelike.

What will the new prices be?

Cheers,
Jon.

Thankfully, it doesn't look like Tom Cruise

Very good looking sculpt!

Removed by author - I talked this over with my wife and she says I was needlessly negative. As I value her opinion, I have removed my post.
