With my other projects being 'nearly finished' in various degrees, I thought it's time to unpack something new. It's the wanderer kit that I bought from a kickstarter of Nordlys. I got number osi/b. To the left the scenic base that's included.
The wanderer is accompanied by a dog. Jakob told me it's a malinois shepherd (Mechelaar). I would have thought a german shepherd and that explains the angle of the head.
The wanderer herself is nice looking girl, well cast with just very minor mould lines to clean up. She's cast in parts. The main part:
Since it's her break, she gets to rest casually on n arm stretched out behind her:
Her other arm, also not yet attached comes with not two, not three but four options of hand. A good thing that the bits box is permanently hungry. (The open hand is part of the kickstarter, not of the regular kit. The same for a bit of map folded open)
I chose to go with the booze bottle because I can fiddle it around until it nicely rests on her sock. Her arm rests casually in her knee.
Her backpack is placed at her feet. Here is the whole thing together, minus the booze becauseI drank it ... I mean, it wouldn't stay put without glue.
Though the casting looks very fine, as you can see her foot doesn't reach the reserved place in the base. Because her leg looks fine and everything fits otherwise, I'll leave well enough alone and not risk mucking things up with a hairdryer etc.
Finally, Jakob was kind enough to sell me a second dog to accompany my moorish guard in another project. Here I did do some minor plastic surgery. Straightened his legs to make him lie flat and gave him a different tail. Here's the whole kennel together.
I'm looking forward to working on this. It's really a nice kit and I just checked, still some available in Nordlys' shop. I'll add progress pics to this thread later once I get to the paint-slapping. Thanks for watching and comments always welcome.
