As always the resin was well packed with the main pieces being held in a foam cutout , the parts consist of the upper torso/head of the harbinger , right arm , shoulder armour/piece, skull face 2 hands , one with a sand timer the other with the scythe handle , a scythe , front, rear and tail of horse and ears , plus 2 mounting posts one solid brass rod , the other a clear perspex .

Prep
Horse Front and Back Pieces.....Casting remnant from back where tail fits , flashing and small post from upturned leg then fit these together
Ears and Tail... Casting plug to cut away, both need to be fitted ...I would suggest pinning the tail in place
Harbinger....cut away casting plug from underneath and fit to horse
Arm ...Casting remnant from top edges and then fit
Hands...Small casting excess pieces to cut away and fit to main torso ( flashing to remove in timer ).
Shoulder Armour ....Small plug to cut away and fit
Skull...Small plug to cut away and fit
Scythe...Slight sanding at lower edge and then fit ( pin if possible)
Rods...Drill out position under horse to fit to
General Comments
- The resin used is of a high quality and has taken the details extremely well
- Minimal prep with all unwanted resin being in a good and easy to remove position
- An option to fit the skull or leave the area blank
- A choice of mounting rod to use ..the perspex one gives the piece a "floating" effect ...a nice thought from Ju-Won here .
I will look at the horse and rider separate as I have a lot of pictures to share
