How box had arrived. I bet you will guess country of post service on the first try!
Head is right out of the box. He's furious and ready to explode because of squashed box! Luckily for me, his torso, hands and legs are on sprues still
Plastic is soft and can be damaged even with nail. Bald polishing takes time 😮 but ready for LED installation and painting. Others waiting for sanding.
I've decided leave out clear part from limbs. IMHO that gives more authentic look
more holes
One more time - the bigger one on the top or smaller?
finally
Eyes (not head) are ready for wireless LED installation. Create support from plastic and milliput
The only way to integrate LEDs was removing all support (plastic & milliput) stuff
I hope he is ready to paint
Black plastic was covered by "AK 480 DARK ALUMINIUM". Metallic one - "AK 669 TITANIUM"

Uwe KaedingLooking good. I agree with you about not using the clear pieces on his joints - how stable are they without them? I have one of these and was thinking of drilling them out a bit more and inserting some cut aluminium tubing, to reduce the chances of the joints coming apart.

i_nook@Uwe - They don't keep position without clear parts. I'm going to glue joints when 'll find pose for vignette. But I definitely like your idea with aluminum tubes and I think joint units will look more heavy and reasonable. May be use brass tubes from cheap telescopic antenna?

Uwe KaedingGreat! Hadn't thought about a telescopic antenna - Albion Alloys make aluminium (and brass) tubing in a huge range of sizes and that was my plan

i_nook@JD thank you. I'm not totally happy with blaster (scribing) but i'm learning, hope will do better next time

i_nook@Torsten Not yet. I'm still on the way to improve my skills and understand techniques :-/ (for this I use my project - egg King Tiger) so it is really slow
