BigGrin Hi All
This kit arrived today in a well made, packaged box with all the resin parts sandwiched between two thick pieces of sponge. There are eight pieces to the bust casting, a name plate and the stand tucked up in the top right corner.
The casting's are very finely made with some excellent detail although the usual cleaning up will be needed on the parts but the casting is so good it will be minimal.
In conclusion a very well moulded and detailed bust that will be a joy to put together. It would have been nice to have a colour chart to help with getting the colours right but I understand this is normal practice not to add this information as different builders and painters have there own ways of painting this type of subject. I have to say I am well impressed with this bust.
regards
AndyCool
