Recent releases on the bench

Impressive start on both pieces Mike....I'm a bit partial to the trail boss figure as this one appears to be right up my alley. I was going to PM you but figured others might be interested. Would you mind sharing some thoughts on the quality of the sculpt and casting. Not looking for a full blown review, just your thoughts if you don't mind.

Hi Wayne and thanks for looking...... I know where you are coming from..... I like many others have eagerly anticipated the arrival of ordered kits from various manufacturers only for them to end up in the spares box... However this one in my opinion is ok....I'm a big fan of Carl Reid and always look forward to his releases. This 120mm figure is mostly cast in one piece the hat, head and full torso one piece as is the saddle and blanket the left arm is separate and the hand holding the Winchester is moulded as one piece....there are the usual moulding lugs to remove and careful cleaning up on the delicate parts...the right hand is moulded onto the saddle and fits well with the right arm....the rope is separate and very nice....again careful clean up... Nice casual stance which attracted me to the figure and the base and post is a nice addition....all in all I'm very pleased with this one...... I'm sure if you order it and have any problems Ross at MMM will gladly help....nice price at £35..... I don't know the shipping costs to US....
Have a look on MMM website for more pics..


Hope this helps.....take care Mike.
