Just a quick review of a few bits I got from G&G Miniatures from Italy, all in 54mm scale.
First up I got two sets of bare heads, one will replace the Historex head I'm currently using. The first set are European/Caucasian heads, they are nicely detailed with very little evidence if being 3D printed, just a very quick rub with a fibre glass pen sorts that out.
The second set are Sub Saharan African heads, equally well detailed. Both sets have a small neck attached though there is no detail such as Adams apple or tendons in evidence.
Lastly I got a pair of Chassepot French Rifles with bayonets. One of these and an African head are for a future project. The Rifles are very finely made and look almost fragile, unlike the same if it was traditionaly sculpted and cast in white metal. They come on the printing frame which is good for the postage process given their fragility. Also there are two sheathed bayonets, two bayonets and their empty sheaths.
All are very nice and at £8 per pack pretty good value, the heads are slightly smaller than a Historex head, but nominally 54mm Historex are closer to 60mm. They also look to be not much larger than a Hornet Head (1/35th) so should be good to replace the Historex head I was using.
The range is quite extensive covering anatomy, heads, hands and feet also articulated mannequins, accessories across several periods of history and nations and 4 different scales, 1/35th, 54mm, 75mm and i can't remember the last scale! Well worth a visit, at www.mondogad.it .
