Review - Eye in the Sky miniature figure for DreadBall from Mantic Games
Every miniature in the DreadBall Ed2 base set is either a one-piece cast, or pre-glued multi-piece, so you don't need any preparations before your first game. The glue doesn't show, most of the miniatures are so finely crafted it's hard to realise whether or not it is a multi-piece cast. Most of the joins are hidden well, and that also helps the pieces to stay together. I haven't seen any of these minis come apart, unless they were put to a heavy stress.
There is no flash on the miniatures, but the mould lines are visible, and they will be need removal before you start painting.
