right, the resin i am sure people use better qulity resin on the forum than what they use for their models, its very cheap resin they use, and i would be [tinkle]ed at buying a 2nd hand mini if it said new. re broken bits, yes you do get broken bits now and again, i mite of been from sitting on a shelf and load ppl picking it up to have a look or its how it was done and bag'd. looking forward to what you do with it all |

Those bits of resin missing look more like thay didn't fill the mold enough (properly) or they had huge air bubbles. I would be [tinkle]ed too... And the preasembled mini!!! Man that's just wrong... |

Ring him up and ask for a new one, if he sent you a half built one that aint really on... like the truckapillar though! That miscast engine just has a gaping bubble or something! |

did talk to him thought he told me and he is diong a clear out of the stuff thats what i get from going through a third party. will order directly and not try to save on shipping or see if someone in the notts area could do a walk in pick up for me and mail them instead. *wink wink* *nudge nudge* and like i think i have stated the resin isn't miss casted i found the broken off details in the bottom of the bag. slight up date as well primed and ready for paint      |

As some may have heard i have been working with my kids to make minis to represent them on the table top for post apoc games well here they are assembled and a pic of the sample Curtis from ramshackle sent me this week for the armored bear with one of his bike riders instead of Ursa Major. The bear is a miscast but i feel it puts finecast resin to shame. please tell me what you think.   I made a few tweeks to the gun arm on this model it was holding reigns

the bear is from ramshackle and the paper mat and the buildings are from this site http://www.toposolitario.com/workshop/ikube.html. they are a no glue terrain solution called ikubes they fold flat for storage take only 10 cuts and 8 folds so a few minutes per building so its very easy to populate a table. link to the bear the converted rider on mine is one of ramshakles bikers http://shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20&products_id=337 |

the truckapillar looks a bit beaten up but i guess its supposed to, really fits the idea of a post apocalyptic vehicle, looking forward to it getting some paint and rust the ninja bloke has a big mold line from hand to hand that needs scraping off as it detracts from his sleekness |
