This is the first of three reviews I will be doing for Carl Reid Sculptures over the next few weeks. Released last May, the 1/9th scale resin and white metal bust kit is cast in a pale yellow resin with the axe and hands cast in white metal.

Arriving in a sturdy white cardboard box with the parts sandwiched between two layers of foam the kit parts are well protected against damage during shipping. The small white metal parts are packaged in a small clear zip-lok bag to insure against loss in transit.

The bottom photograph above shows the kit unpacked and ready for inspection.

Above are various views of the separate cast torso and head.

Above are close-ups of the head portion of the torso showing the clean detail Carl Reid is noted for.

Above is the special resin plinth for the Viking bust that can be pegged to a custom wooden base to support the bust.

Conclusion:
An excellent bust depicting the Eastern Viking in the 10th Century. Cleanly cast with minimal clean-up needed prior to painting. All dry-fitting was excellent. Highly recommended.
