It wasn't difficult to get hold of the figure, I've got a box of them!
First impressions are good, the casting is neat with no air bubbles and there is little 'flash' or blemishes.
The figure came in a few parts:
Cleaning was pretty straightforward, I found the resin was quite 'brittle', this meant that the parts cleaned down easily and it was straightforward to get rid of the casting sections, however it would have been easy to break something. So I braced myself in the classic modellers pose of sticking my tongue out between my teeth and prayedas I cut.
Fortunately, the god of modellers was watching over me, and the parts cleaned fine.
My major criticism is the barrel of the gun, its extremely fine to say the least and it snapped-off immediately. I'm now left with a short-barrelled version, and need to look at a wire replacement.
Anyway, moan over, and its on to assembly...
