With my other projects being 'nearly finished' in various degrees, I thought it's time to unpack something new. It's the wanderer kit that I bought from a kickstarter of Nordlys. I got number osi/b. To the left the scenic base that's included.

The wanderer is accompanied by a dog. Jakob told me it's a malinois shepherd (Mechelaar). I would have thought a german shepherd and that explains the angle of the head.

The wanderer herself is nice looking girl, well cast with just very minor mould lines to clean up. She's cast in parts. The main part:

Since it's her break, she gets to rest casually on n arm stretched out behind her:

Her other arm, also not yet attached comes with not two, not three but four options of hand. A good thing that the bits box is permanently hungry. (The open hand is part of the kickstarter, not of the regular kit. The same for a bit of map folded open)

I chose to go with the booze bottle because I can fiddle it around until it nicely rests on her sock. Her arm rests casually in her knee.

Her backpack is placed at her feet. Here is the whole thing together, minus the booze because I drank it ... I mean, it wouldn't stay put without glue.

Though the casting looks very fine, as you can see her foot doesn't reach the reserved place in the base. Because her leg looks fine and everything fits otherwise, I'll leave well enough alone and not risk mucking things up with a hairdryer etc.

Finally, Jakob was kind enough to sell me a second dog to accompany my moorish guard in another project. Here I did do some minor plastic surgery. Straightened his legs to make him lie flat and gave him a different tail. Here's the whole kennel together.

I'm looking forward to working on this. It's really a nice kit and I just checked, still some available in Nordlys' shop. I'll add progress pics to this thread later once I get to the paint-slapping. Thanks for watching and comments always welcome.

Interesting project look forward to seeing it come together

I think you kept the box upside down when reading the "number", as it says n°9/150. Think this will make more sense too.

Thanks for spotting that Gino.

Looks interesting Henk! Looking forward to your progress.

Cheers,

First paint is on! Some very questionable pics of the girl's face and legs. Mixed in good amount of venetian red in places. Some lucky boy will get to peel off the sunburnt skin in a few days. (or is it only the Dutch that practice this?).

Will have to see in daylight tomorrow how it turns out. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Nap.

Off to a good start, really like this one.

Thanks Graham.

Today I didn't have much time. Just did her shorts, so at least she's decent, and her boots.

will follow this one nice start on the flesh

Thanks Franck

This looks very interesting, following.

Thanks Bob

Quick update. Apart from her hair, hand, belt and jacket zip it all received a base colour. Jacket didn't cover well, so definitely must get a second layer. T-shirt probably too. Socks didn't come out as I intended so will also get more love (or at least attention). As always, excuses for the c**p phone pic, thanks for looking and any comments welcome.

Doesn't look like there's much progress but there's an extra layer here and there. Colour scheme beginning to take shape, just the hair needing highlights. Her hand will be glued on once I'm happy with her legs. As always, thanks for watching and any comments welcome.

You made my day!

Nice job so far...

Thanks Marcin, really appreciated.

Coming together very nicely.
