Arriving in Young Miniature's traditional sturdy black box with all parts sandwiched between layers of foam. The small parts along with the copper wire comes sealed inside a zip-lok bag for protection in shipping. The above bottom photograph shows the parts laid out for inspection from the box.

Above you see various views of the separate cast head. A casting block will have to be removed prior to fitting down into the neck of the bust.

Above is the back pack shown in all four sides.
