Here is a beauty of a kit I Picked up recently from E2046.com I have learned the figure is based on a popular game called Armor Hunter, basically killing dragons/ beasts, scale them for thier armor and wear it as your own, along with your standard quests. This figure is from the game.
Here are my thoughts on it so far:
Sculpt: Nice, crisp sculpt, great face and fantastic armor features. Very nice casting!
Stance: leans back at an odd angle and arm is wierd, and I will close up the right hand. I like the feet and how they create more balance for the piece, will be easy to wire to a base.
Casting: About as nice as they come considering complexity. Mild split lines, average to easy cleanup.
Resin: Perfect, semisoft sweet smelling easy to work with, love E2046's resin
To date I have cleaned her up , soaked her in Castrol Super Clean for two days to release mold agents, cleaned up parting lines and buffed her down. I needed to give her a breast reduction to get the armor chestplate to fit right, but this is common in this type kit. I added a pair of magnets in the left arm for removeability as well as the top of the head/ helm so I can remove that for tranpsort. I forgot all about the armored arm cover when I bonded the right arm on, so she will get an amputation tongiht to fix that little "problem".
I Plan on a deep forest type base for her and I will draw as heavily as possible on my Ray Rimmel Building Dinosaurs book for base ideas.
Now THAT's a knife!!
Build to please yourself, and don't worry about what others think!
