Thunderbird Historical Miniatures has produced their first 75mm figure sculpted by Alan Ball.

Arriving in a sturdy cardboard box with all parts sealed in zip-lock baggies and bubble wrap as a filler in the box to ensure against damage while in shipping.

The top photo above shows the baggies right out of the box and the bottom photo shows all of the parts removed from the bags for inspection. The kit consists of 11 resin parts plus a small piece of sheet foil.

Above you see several views of the head.

Above you see each side of the torso showing the attention to detail Alan Ball has achieved.
