Coming on well but the white metal casting has some flaws evident as polished while metal. These are emphasised with power painting. Metal casting has to be better otherwise filling is needed. Perhaps brush undercoat would be better but something should be done before fine spray painting The Old Master Metal engravers would turn in their graves! . They would ditch their casts if they deteriorated after a run figures.No offence meant! Second hand moulds often show this. Few originals survive. By definition their figures were limited editions. The collectors were very critical, I can assure you!
) I believe i understood you. I don't know if is first mould or not. The original figure was made for this brand, this is sure, many years ago. Only watched seven or eight painted, but in general our grey army is big, and i don't know how many units are sold. In general i liked the casting. I came from other times, when resin castings weren't usual, and the weight of white metal in hand working likes me more than resin. Being a 75 mm the detals are great. The sculpting is great. The expresion and movement of clothes too. The position is very dinamic and this use to present more dificults at the moment of preparation, but not a bad casting at all. All the possible problems are in me and puty. I'm abnegated with putty and glue, a total disaster.
