Arriving in Stormtrooper's traditional sturdy white cardboard box the kit is encased inside a bubble-wrap pouch with the smaller parts sealed inside small zip-lok bags. A color photo is attached to the top of the box as well as a type written painting guide inside the box.

Above you see the parts removed from the pouch and bags for inspection prior to the photography being started.

Above you see multiple views of the torso and head which is cast as one piece. The amazing facial detail sculpted by Carl in addition to the helmet and body armor really sets this apart and cries to be painted.

Above you see several close-ups of the face and helmet.

Great looking sculpt Carl

Nice variety of textures

Does Carl do a figure/bust every 2 days? Very nice work as expected. My only reservation is that I prefer a classic bust to a full half figure- but that is persoanl taste.
