Not bad. Still thinking that the proportions are quite odd (and that's a shame, since the cost for the casting  and moulding is the same of a better sculpted mini), i'm not very convinced now.

Scurv - maybe you should write to them direct and point out the gun defects?
You never know, they might take note. Worth a try?

I think Bob Naismith does a lot of their sculpting, he's usually amenable to useful suggestions.

I think when I am able to get some I'm going to cut the barrel out and stick the flash suppressor to the end of the stock.  I'm not really put off by the gun but I think that would look a bit nicer.

I don't think the troopers are Bob Naismith's work http://remytremblay.sculpture.over-blog.com/

Well, that would certainly explain the certain strange anatomical features Bob's work has rarely (if ever) suffered from...

Ok, it's just a teaser, but they promised new figures for the Corporation line in September

We shall see, doesn't look bad but I'm still suspicious of that elbow. The ape length arms were awful on the last ones.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Agreed. Stopped me from buying any, in fact.

Very pretty. Didn't this guy fight Iron Man in the first movie?
