Hi Folks
Its always good to introduce a new company to you and to look at a release so before I review lets have a little about :
Based in Ireland run entirely by Eoin Rogan who has a background of tabletop miniatures and computer games and was setup in 2017 to create resin models using various scales ranging from 28mm tabletop to 120mm and 1/16th
All processes are carried out by Eoin from 3D sculpting and casting to boxing and despatch to customers
Various subjects are on the website ranging from Horror/Sci-fi and Fantasy to Military
Currently all releases are in 1/16th scale with plans to use other scales in the future
The release I will share today is a fantasy piece namely GOBLIN GUARD
Details are here:
Title: Goblin Guard
Reference: RH006
Scale: 1/16th
Material: Dark Gray Resin
No of parts: 10
Sculptor/Casting/ : Eoin Rogan
Box Art: N/A
Rogan has gone for a robust cardboard packing box , more than suitable for the use and a good thing to store bits and bobs on the bench when your modelling , obviously the box is 100% recyclable .
On opening the box I was greeted with bubblewrap bag in which I found all the parts nicely held together
Parts consist of upper torso ,head, 2 arms , 2 legs, a pole arm type weapon , sword and a base.
Prep
I looked long and hard at all the pieces with my optivisor and I'm happy to say all I could see was a micro fine casting line where the mould was separated and I mean micro on the torso and the head with the remaining pieces having very small casting points that just needed sanding back .
The engineering of the pieces is well thought out in particular the fit of the pieces using accurate cutouts , I could see no area's where you might need to use filler
General comments
Torso
Looking at this made me chuckle and think of the well known Disney film Shrek as our subject has a rather well endowed stomach that creeps over the belt
He has armour plate on front and back with buckle and strap details well done , I like the way they sit on his upper torso , round the neck we see a cord on which there is a small skull and bones .
Under the armour there's a mail shirt , ragged at the edges which is a nice touch ...perhaps the definition is not as clean as in other releases but saying that it could also be painted to represent a textured cloth with the mail being brought to life by washes and careful drybrushing.
Around the expanse of his waist a thick belt straining to control things .....a bit like the Disney character...lol
On the belt we have a large round piece with a pattern on it ...a little more definition might be nice here , on the left we have the sword attachment and working round he has what looks like a "grenade" hooked into the belt,or perhaps it's a moneybag filled with goblin groats [SIZE]
What is very noticeable is the care taken at the fitment points shoulders/neck in addition to the underside where the legs fit cleanly
Arms
These are armored at the shoulders on both sides , sharp undercuts , fitting very well into the cutouts , the left sits well onto the hilt of the sword when in position .
The sleeves of the mail peek out from under the armour ...ragged and torn , under this the clothing sleeve again torn leading to a leather wristband (on the left only ) and then to the hand itself , good work on the fingers ..like the addition of pointed nails
The right arm is bent at the elbow , no hand ( this is cast onto the weapon he holds
Legs
Short in length as befits the gnome again nicely ragged at the lower edges , under this there is a "sock" which has stitches on either side ..or is his flesh sown together ...you could paint as either.
On the feet we have a fine pair of sectioned armour , nicely defined with good buckles .
Fit to the torso is easy with the edges being well shaped to sit correctly ...again good engineering from Eoin .
