Everyone....this is my first review of a kit here and I hope this is useful to someone. I recently saw a posting here about a viking raider figure with a gas mask by this same company ( http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/thought-this-might-have-some-interest-here.69165/#post-711321) and it got me curious as to their other products. I saw this item on their website and ordered one right away. I enjoy the fantasy, STALKER-like figures, and do not see too many on the market.
Here is a link to the website (http://www.collapseindustries.com/post-apocalypse-kits/).
Here is what the company has to say about the kit....
This piece Created by Bob Waltman is the first in the Collapse Series. He can be painted however you my see yourself surviving the wasteland. Features two hand options gun or gieger counter. Also features 55 gallon drum Base. The figure is roughly 1/6th scale cast in grey resin.
My kit arrived within a few days, via USPS priority mail. It came in a sturdy, plain brown box filled with packing peanuts. It was well packed and arrived safe and sound. The photos pretty much speak for themselves. The bust itself is approx 5" tall (@ 13 cm) and the barrel is approx 3" tall (@ 9 cm). It appears to be a very nice kit, with some mold seams, but nothing too major. The detail looks nice and crisp. No instructions are needed. Assembly is straightforward. The bust itself is resin, filled with a lightweight foam to keep weight to a minimum. The barrel is solid resin, and with it's weight, it would make a good display stand. No art or painting guide is included, but none is really needed. As with any true "fantasy" piece it really leaves that up to the individual modeler to decide...painting and color choices are limited only your imagination. the web site does show 2 completed kits in various camo outfits. I personally like the snow camo myself.
Thanks for reading, and again...I hope someone finds my contribution here useful. I have benefited greatly from the posting here, and hope i can 'give back" in some small way.
Thanks.
