Spartan - 480 BC - Young Miniature Review

[Guy]

YH 1809
Spartan, 480 BC
1/10th scale resin
Sculpted & Painted by Young B. Song
5 parts

This has got to be one of the most beautiful busts I have seen Young Produce. When you get to the last photo, you will understand why . Young's Spartan comes in his traditional sturdy black box with the clear plastic sleeve and consists of only 5 parts.

The 5 parts consist of the helmet crest, the helmet, the torso, the shiels and the base plinth.

Above is the main section of the bust with the head attached and cast to the chest.

Above you see the helmet that litterly slides down over the head. You see the underneath showing how the helmet corresponds with the top of the head ( notice hole - this was drilled by me for photographic purposes of the review)

The above shows the 4 views of the head, chest and helmet slid down over the head.

Above is the helmet crest which fits down on top of the helmet.

Above is the front and back view of the shield. Very few people realized this figure came with a shield.

Above the simple plinth for underneath the bust.

Additional box art photos by Young B. Song

And the last photo - the bust master with the shield. Some awesome ideas come to mind for a shield design.

Conclusion:

An awesome bust by Young with very little seam lines and clean up required. The addition of the shield (not seen on the painted box art) is a real plus in how the end result will appear painted. Highly recommended.

Thanks Guy,
I didn't now that there was a shield. In my opinion it is better with then without the shield.
