SS Totenkopf Officer - Young Miniature Review

[Guy]

YM1811
SS Totenkopf Officer, WWII
1/10th scale resin
Sculpted & painted by Young B. Song
7 parts

Young B. Song, of Young Miniatures has brought us another beautifully sculpted and detailed 1/10th resin bust depicting an SS Officer Totenkopf in WWII.

Arriving in Young's traditional heavy cardboard box with all parts sandwiched between layers of foam and the small parts sealed in a baggie. The outside is encased in a clear plastic sleeve to keep the box closed.

Above you see the 7 part kit out of the box and bag with Young's trademark plinth to support the bust. Also included is a small cigarette that was sealed in the baggie to ensure against loss.

Above you see the four different sides of the head. After reviewing all of Young's busts they are indeed each a little different.

Above you see the four different views of the chest portion of the bust. The attention to detail as always is amazing.

Above you see close-ups of the chest and can clearly see the attention to detail sculpted into the medals and badges as well as the socket for the left hand to fit into.

Above you see the front, back and side of the collar which dry-fitted exactly onto the shoulders.

Above you see the 3 sides of the hat showing the cord detail and brim as well as a close-up of the front in the bottom photo.

Above is the front and back of the hand which shows some clean-up needed at the tips of the fingers.

Above are two additional views of the hand.

Young includes his trademark bust plinth with the figure kit.

Conclusion:
An excellent sculpted and casted bust with only two seam lines (back of the neck and bottom of hand ) and mold blocks to remove. Fingertips need to be carefully cleaned for casting blocks at the end of each finger. Highly recommended.
