Hi to everyone ,
Some say I live in a fantasy world ..perhaps they are right !!! but I can think no better place to be when you are near such beautiful and alluring characters like those from Galapagos Miniatures....especially the one we will be looking at in this little voyage into the myths and legend times.
The release I am thinking about is of course one that was announced earlier this year from Galapagos Miniatures from Korea...it is AMARYNE
The review model was received very well packed and very quickly in a cardboard postal box which on opening I found the distinctive coloured box from Galapagos , strong again and with quality coloured picture of the painted version as above on the top and also a smaller view on the box side...inspirational to look at I am sure you will agree.
On opening the box I was greeted by 2 playing card sized inserts , one with the story of the subject, setting the scene for the modeller ...and an enjoyable read as well!!
, the other has a front and back version of the piece from Ki-Yeol Yoon.
Parts were packed between thick foam holding the resin in a safe manner , inviting further investigation and all ready to be taken out to do so.
What are we looking at then :
Title: Amaryne- The Border Protector
Reference: GP-B006
Scale: 1/10th
Material: Resin (Gray)
No of pieces: 11
Sculptor: Ju-won Jung
Box Art: Ju-won Jung
Special version painted by Ki-Yeol Yoon (as on insert)
The parts consist of the main torso, 2 arms, the cloak, the 2 pieces of the bow , arrow head and arrow top flights , a metal rod for arrow shaft and some nylon yarn , and of course we have a base.
Prep needed on the resin as follows:
Torso: Casting plug to remove on the lower part and a piece of resin in the small of the back to allow fit of the cloak
Arms: Small excess resin to remove at the top of the arms for fitting
Cloak: Casting plug from the lower side edge
Bow pieces: small plugs to take off each of the end where it sits to the hand
Arrow head and flight: Tiny plugs to remove
Base: Excess from the underside edges if you wish to do so .
Nylon Cord: Fit to bow
Lets begin first with the largests of the pieces the Torso:
The piece is a 3/4 figure style , super smooth on all surfaces and in total keep with what I expected , she is rather beautifully done to say the least , arms are cut off just below the shoulder with locating recesses ready to get the arms .
In the small of the back we have to fit the cloak ...easy once the excess resin has been taken away, beneath this we have 2 locating holes for the cloak to ensure fit is spot on.
Hair......a truly beautiful piece of work , flowing over her right shoulder , finely worked , great definition , the hair on the left is swept back to reveal her pointed ear.
On her shoulders we see a cloak with a wing on her right side ...again well shown.
Her breasts are covered in a rather fetching little number , fitting around her body very delicatley , what I like is the way the material has been reproduced , below the cleavage we have decoration ..top stuff to get those brushes round .
Waist is very good leading down to a very curvy set of hips , covered by material as with the "bra" really finely worked , and being a woman she has a "purse" .....
Facial features are a young woman , delicate and well formed , neck muscles are nicely done and we have a cute little belly button as well.
