[Guy]

Minuteman Models MM-019
"trapper"
54mm resin - 9 parts
Sculpted by David P. Ackerman
Painted by Patrick Ang

Of course you all know this figure peaked my interest when it first came out and after receiving it by mail I have to say it is loaded with detail and accessories.

​

​

Arriving in a small sturdy cardboard box with the color box art on the top this kit was comprised of 9 resin parts:​

​

Torso​

Left arm holding the rifle​

Right hand holding a hatchet​

2 Beaver Plews ( Beaver hides fastened to a willow hoop​

2 traps​

2 snowshoes​

​

All parts were still attached to their casting blocks which can easily be removed with a razor saw of knife. The resin figure was cleanily cast with no air-bubbles or major seam lines.​
