started on one of the "pure" MB figures last night- a considerable difference in the end result... A real eye opener ...

This one comes with the Polish insignia on the berret. The others in the set are clean but with the insignia included on the pour stub, a great idea. I've often read/heardu that the resin heads make painting so much easier. I understand that now. Even without shading and highlighting its an order of magnitude better than even the best Styrene ones I've attempted so far.

Coming along nicely there Paul although I still don’t understand why plastic figures can’t have the crisp detail you often seen on resin ones.

I think it's a technology issue. Big steel pressure injection molds don't permit the undercut detail in particular that flexible one piece molds use with resin do. Some modern styrene stuff is good but the parts breakdown needed for injection molding brings inthe issue of seams etc.
