Nuts Planet and Trigger Miniatures continue to increase the characters in the series , this time we have one called:
Shield
The initial 3D version prior to casting was announced here (and on social media)
The subject continues in the style of previous releases in a world that we cannot imagine to be like survival is hard , the law enforcement is even harder , gangs wander the streets and amongst derelict buildings. , people are sleeping rough on anything they can find including mattresses previously in luxury hotels .
Armed with high power weapons and needing protection against toxic gases rising from death filled sewers his purpose out on the streets is to protect his fellow survivors with the police shield ..perhaps he has picked this up after a confrontation ...at least its a bit more protection.
The figure is designed to be used either as an individual or as part of a vignette using the other figures .
Details as follows:
Title: Shield
Reference: T75009
Scale: 75mm(1/24th)
Material: Gray Resin
No of pieces: 10
Sculptor ( using 3D ) : Joo Heum Yoon
Box Art from Ki Yeol Yoon
As always the presentation is in the instantly known dark blue of the box with full colour pictures on the top and sides.Parts consist of the full figure, face mask , the 2 arms , right hand with 2 weapon options , a clear shield
Base parts include the back wall , actual base piece , drainpipe and a mattress!!
Prep
As with previous releases this is minimal:
Figure...Casting block from under feet
Arms... Small casting plugs from top of shoulders , with fine casting lines on the inside to sand away
Hands...Small plug from the axe
Mask...Cut away excess from casting block
Shield...Small remnant from edge
Pipe...Small pieces to cut away
Base piece..Excess from edge to remove
Back wall..As with base
Mattress...Excess resin from back
In this part we will look at the groundwork provided in the box , the remaining parts in the 2nd.
Base piece ...a smooth concreted surface with cracks showing and a manhole cover in place the details are sharp particularly on the manhole , you could almost lift it up !!
There are 4 locating lugs , 2 for the mattress and 2 for the back wall .
Back wall...Fit is easy and very sharp by 2 holes matching perfectly to the lugs on the base , the brickwork is nicely worked with a power junction box being located on to wall with feeder pipes leading from top and bottom , these are again well shown .
Drainpipe ...good shaping and with fit being easy by means of 2 small hole in the wall matching 2 lugs on it
Mattress...this is a great addition to the base ,what or who has slept on it ? , location to the base is by holes matching the 2 lugs , a thick piece sculpted in a natural position bent leaning over at the top , the detail in this is excellent with the surface being torn exposing the filling , there are several "buttons" strewn around all pulling into the mattress nicely .
