Open Book "Oberleutant", 6th Inf Regt - Reedees Miniatures Review

[Guy]

RM-BU-02
"Oberleutant", 6th Inf Regt III Bavarian Army Corps
1/9th scale resin
Sculpted by Steve Readdie
Painted by Steve Pepper
Research by - Ulrich Biroth

Right after Steve sent me this review sample another review was done. We decided to hold off on posting this review but I wanted to post it in time for Christmas shopping. Steve has sculpted a Bavarian bust with character and is doing something besides being presented with the bust cut below the shoulders. In other words, he has character and action not seen with many busts.

Cast in 10 light gray resin parts this kit comes with both arms and hands.

The above kit comes well packaged in a small sturdy white cardboard box with all parts sandwiched between layers of foam. The small parts are sealed inside a zip-lok bag to insure against loss.

Above you see various views of the separate cast head with the helmet being cast separately.

Above you see the four sides of the helmet which fits perfectly onto the head after painting.

Conclusion:
An excellent kit by Reedees Miniatures. Some clean-up required as in most kits. Highly recommended.

Beautiful piece. Just wish it was a full figure.

Guy many thanks for the comprehensive review, much appreciated.

Steve... A full figure is not out of the question, it is something I am considering for this bust, to add some legs will not be a major job to make this a full figure option.
