YH1808
Hector 1200 BC
1/10th scale resin bust
Sculpted by Ahn Jun Sik
Painted by Young B. Song
8 parts + etched brass plaque

This is a 1/10th scale resin bust of the legendary Hector of the 12th century BC.

The kit is comprised of 8 resin parts and a brass etched plaque. The bust comes in Young's traditional sturdy black box with layers of foam between the parts to prevent damage from shipping.

The above head is cast sepertly and fits down into the neck of the chest.

The helmet is also cast separtly and fits right down over the head. There is a cap that goes on top that the plume attaches to.

Above you see the head and helmet fitted together.

Above are the 4 views of the highly detailed chest. As you can see the detail in the armor is amazing and extremely well detailed. There are thin mold blocks on the bottom of the bust that need to be removed.

Above you see the head fitted onto the shoulders and the lower photo showing the helmet slid down over the head.

Above are photos of the front and back of the shield.

Once again - thanks for the review.

The close up pics of the armour are awesome. So much intricate detail, a painters delight!!

I've got to get me one of these.

Hector vs Achilles (Eric Bana vs Brad Pitt) would make a nice pair of busts.

Cheers

Hi Guy,

thanks for the review. It's an unbelievable bust, sculpting + painting. The expression on the face is exceptional. I like the shield too, but it's really pity for the very detailed back to be covered.

Another superb release!
Thanks

Exactly why I have one of each Tony! What a pair.

I picked this one up in Chicago this year as well. I'm with Guy, the armor on this one is what makes it. Well........the facial expression doesn't hurt! Thanks again Guy!
