On opening the lid the first impressions are WOW what a lot of resin I am getting...its a big piece of work.
As with previous releases contents are in the strong box with colour artwork on the top and sides packed well surrounded by air pockets and foam chippings ( also we have an information sheet)

The parts are the Main Torso, head, 2 arms, 2 bags , a water bottle. powderhorn, axe(with hand) , musket, and a musket sling and 2 small straps for the powder horn fitting.
As I have a lot of pictures taken I will split this into2 parts the first we will look at the main figure parts
Prep
Main Torso... Flashing around the lower edge, slight sanding of bag straps, tiny plug from small knife end
Head... Casting plug from neck and tiny casting line
Arms...Casting plug from Top and fine casting line ( on left arm) , casting plug on sleeve detail on other.
Bags...Nothing
Waterbottle/Powderhorn... small casting plugs
Axe...Flashing ( review piece was slightly warped but easy to straighten using a hair dryer)
Weapon...Flashing around mechanism and on underside of weapon , small plug on stock end
Strap...remove from former
There is a heck of a lot of resin here and the engineering of the pieces is really good indeed , fit of all parts are easy and simple to do , I particularly liked the "GR" bag fit onto the straps ...first rate.
Main Torso
Its hard to know where to start but the thing that leaps out is without doubt the texture of the clothing a herringbone sett , around the edges we have the stitches . all straps are very well worked again we have the textures , the leather on the main one together with embossing ( beadwork )
The equipment details are excellent to say the least from the small bag and knife moving with the DYNAMIC'S of the overall piece itself , to the weapons hanging in its mounting, nice details on the bayonet socket as well.
At the neck there is a gorget , nicely shaped ( some might like to remove the infill ) , above this we have the collar folded down very natural indeed.
All the clothing shows really well thought out folds , belts are again textured and with good undercuts the pouch has a nicely shaped flap
What a start , this really is a triumph of resin ...TEXTURE, TEXTURE...so good I named it twice !!!





AWESOME or what!!!
Arms
Again these are in full action pose one held high striking on an unseen enemy with the tomahawk axe the other holds the musket lower.
All I can say is that the texture continues in the same excellent way , folds of the arms are really good and very naturally worked, sleeve details are really sharply done , fit to the torso is clean and very accurate , no filler needed .

Head
This is another superb piece again sculpting is 1st class, the pose of the facial features is a man in full anger ,and shouting , mouth wide open exposing his tongue and teeth , these are extremely well shown , all the muscles in the face are there the nose and ears are as good as the eyes , hair texture ( its that word again!!!) really good the cap is plain on the front as in references but this could have had a GR on it as well if you wish. , around the base of the helmet there is a band of beadwork .
Let the pictures do the talking
