Review

Description

It is a one-piece white metal miniature.

Scale & Size

It's 1:56 (28mm / 32mm) scale according to the company.

Proportions

The proportions are heroic according to the company. For me it looks mostly realistic, only the head has heroic scale proportions.

Sculpting

Pose

The pose is static.

I can't really see how to change the pose into a more dynamic one without a lot of effort, so I'd leave it this way.

Casting

From what I've seen on photos, there is some flash, mould lines and sprue remains that need clean-up.
