Major Allison Digby Tatham-Warter, Arnhem, 1944
1/9th scale resin - 7 parts
Sculpted by Carl Reid
Painted by Sang Eon Lee

Stormtroopers second bust release is the beautiful sculpting of Carl Reid and his rendition of Major Allison Digby Tatham-Warter. Cast in a light gray resin this kit consists of 7 resin parts including 2 optional heads to chose from. Combine Carl's sculpting with Stuart's casting and add Sang Eon Lee as the box art painter this kit is sure to be popular for many years.

The Digby bust from Stormtroopers arrive by Royal Mail packaged in a sturdy white cardboard box with all the parts wrapped in bubble wrap. Upon unwrapping the bubble wrap I found the main section of the bust (torso) and 2 sealed clear bags which all the other parts were secured in. The bottom photo above shows all the parts that make up the kit including the 2 optional heads. A color guide in color shows both versions along with a written color guide for the uniform colors.

Optional Head 1

Above is the favorite option to me. The Bowler hat gives the bust character along with him carrying the umbrella.

A beautiful sculpted and engineered kit by Stormtroopers and Carl Reid. Dry-fitting of all parts was excellent. Minimal clean-up required. Highly recommended.

Great review Guy - another cracker from Carl.

Just a quick note to say I trade under SK Miniatures rather than S&K Miniatures.

Cheers,

Thanks for the review Guy. Combining Sang Eon Lee's painting skills and Carl Reid's sculpting talent is the modelling equivalent of the "perfect storm".
