Shadowking, they are not on the website yet. Email Nic at Eureka directly to order them. They will have an "official" release in about a month.

cheers Fuzzy
Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.

Received mine yesterday. The casts are quite nice. Some mould lines, but nothing a knife and some sanding paper can't handle.
I was wondering if the main body is meant to be hollow by the way. Mine is hollow and the left side of the main body seems to be "sunken" a bit, giving a bit of a skewed look if you look at it from the front. Any ideas how this can be fixed?

The head is meant to be hollow. A solid resin head would weigh too much for the resin legs.

I am experimenting with casting the head in urethane foam but not sure if the cast will keep its smooth finish.


Cheers
Fuzzy.
