    Packaged in a sturdy white cardboard each Stormtrooper kit comes sealed in a bubble wrap pouch.

    Inside the pouch you will find all the small parts sealed again inside a zip-lok bag for their protection and to prevent loss during shipping. The above bottom photo shows all the parts removed for inspection.

    Thanks for the detailed review Guy, it's great to be able to have a really good look at a piece before buying and this is one bust I'll definately be buying.
    Thanks again.

    I'll second that emotion! I got the kit in the mail the other day and it is excellent! One thing, the axe blade is fragile and I broke mine when I picked up the main piece out of the box. Teaches me to be so ham handed. But, a word of caution to those buying it. Beautiful piece and I am looking forward to how it turns out in the hands of some of these talented planeteers!!!

    Great review Guy!! Thanks!

    What's going on with his left eye? Maybe I'm just not 'seeing' it, but it looks kinda funny.

    This isn't a criticism because I think Carl Reid is an incredible talent. I have a number of his creations in my gray army which will no doubt also include this one before too long.
