Arriving in Young's traditional sturdy black box with a color photo of the bust on top and all parts sandwiched between layers of foam. All small parts were sealed inside a small zip-lok bag to ensure against loss during shipping. The bottom photograph shows all parts removed from the box and zip-lok for inspection prior to photography being done.

Above you see various views of the separate cast head engineered to fit precisely into the helmet as well as down into the neck cavity of the chest.

Above you see the four sides of the separate cast helmet showing the cut where it attaches to the head.

Above is the top and bottom of the neck armor collar that fits down into the shoulders prior to the head and helmet.

Above are various views of the helmet, head and chest dry-fitted together. With the normal clean-up of the kit the collar should fit right down into the neck area.

Above is the front and back of the helmet plume.

Above you see the front and back of the helmet decorative wings that after removing the casting block will fit into the holes in each side of the helmet.

In the photos above you see the front and back of the ear guards as well as the chest straps for the front of the bust.

Above is the traditional bust plinth supplied with the kit.

Conclusion:
