Hmmmmmm... Closer inspection is a little disappointing. Given the newness of the molds there is a lot of flash throughout. I fairness most of it will disappear with a good sneeze, but still. The weapons are provided in a relatively complete state for the L85A5 with the forward grip attached. As a consequence Gecko have taken a somewhat strange approach to ensuring a proper look to the grip of the figure hands by splitting them along their length. Surely a full hand molded around the pistol grip/foregrip either integral with the weapon or something to be offered up to the lower surface would have been better.
Also sole detail for boots where visible on the finished figure are provided as an additional detail to be attached. Webbing and 3 camel packs in 2 styles provided on duplicated sprues so 6 options there for a bit of variety..

Looks like a good set of figures, even with a bit of flash they should scrub up really well.

In the flowershop I found this bag with sisal, perfect for diorama building. It costs 1.28 euro !   |
