swralph Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hi Friend's. I thought I would do something a little different.I bought this cheap pre coloured snap together kit. Well what a mistake that was,upon opening the box all I saw was nothing,I thought I had been ripped off but then I put my hand in the box and felt something even though I couldn't see. I realised that the parts were in the box,no problem I thought. There were 10 part's in the kit,head arm's torso,shoe's,leg's and hand's. I managed to feel my way around the part's of the kit before I snapped them together.One really annoying problem I had was that I dropped a part,it took me about 2 hour's to find.My wife had thought I had gone madder than usual because I was running my hand's slowly over the floor and desk. Having finally managed to put the kit together.I decided to add some ink wash's to add depth to the kit,of course I used invisible ink.I then placed the finished kit on this wooden plinth. Over all I think I did enjoy doing this kit and would recommend it to anyone interested in this sort of model. Hope you like. All the best.

cosmosman Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Think the plinth is a bit undersize for size of the model. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that some die-hard "visibilist" action-group members broke into the warehouse and stole all the invisible versions from the boxes, in protest against fascist, anti-visible government measures (or some similarly messed-up nonsense).

spruecutter96 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Just a small point.... shouldn't the handkerchief in his jacket breast-pocket be red, instead of white? I shall collect my winter outer-garment.... Chris. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 What’s the scale? I am guessing it was a good fit and no filler or sanding was needed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I kind of knew this would be what you'd posted. With my woeful production this year, I think I might claim to have built dozens of these kits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
