T-Tango Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Bought a box of Italeri Historic Figures, a reasonable investment to practice with for about £11 you get 6 figures and 6 horses, the mouldings are not too bad although in 1 or 2 places you get large chunks of square plastic filling in between details, this is not flash, just bad detailing, in fact the model is flash free and the only cleaning up you have to do is a very small seam line and the nodes where the figure and the horse are joined to the sprues. As yet I'm not too confident about removing some of these squares of plastic, although some you cant remove as there is no detail available. Pics of the model cleaned up.

Hypnobear Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) I have loads of American Civil war Italeri 1/32 soldiers I need to start - bought about 12 boxes of them a while ago now, and have been in storage ever since, along with a few others I've picked up along the way off eBay. Not to mention a whole wall of boxes of 1/72 soldiers I also have to get cracking on! Edited August 23, 2009 by NAKAJIMA15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Tango Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) The sets you've got, do they have the blocks of infill plastic on them? You can see what I mean if you look at the front view pic, between the front legs of the horse Edited August 23, 2009 by T-Tango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypnobear Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 The sets you've got, do they have the blocks of infill plastic on them? Yes, I think all their 1/32nd range have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Tango Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 The worst bit you can see is on the second pic, between the knights shield the scabbard and his leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Green Man Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 T-Tango, I just picked up the same set of figures today, so I'm faced with the same issue. Please let me know how you get on. Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
