This is another bust I picked up while in Atlanta and is up to Young's standards of excellence. The kit consists of 12 parts including an optional resin base and name plate.

Once again packed in a sturdy black box with a clear plastic sleeve. All parts are sandwiched between foam to ensure against breakage and loss. All small parts are enclosed in a small plastic bag.

The head has a beard stubble as well as locator slots for placing the chin guards after painting.

The helmet fits down snuggly onto the head for later placement into the shoulders.

Here we see the front and back of the chest showing excellent armor and hair detail of the bearskin.

Now we have the complete fitment of the head, helmet and chest.

The accessory parts are cast seperetly and should require minimal cleanup and seperation from the mold blocks.

Here is one of the cheek guards attached to the casting block.
