Thanks for posting the pics Frederick!!

Limitations like "soft detail" become apparent of course! Especially the kneeling figure...the flap on his back molded on..not ideal I would say!!
A lot of Dremel-work to remedy these items, but nothing that couldn't be fixed.

The pistol (+ hand) f.ex. is very nice though, while the officer's cap would need a little rework to make its shape more russian (easy one )

Not too bad actually, and at least they are making an effort to bring new items (and fresh wind) into our world. Who else would produce russian sailors, I'm asking you!

Cheers

Romain

Thanks a lot Frederick for those built up pictures !
Eventhough details are good but much less precise than resin fig, poses are great, faces are very expressive and they call for some do it yourself improvements !
Best,
Julien

Of course the drawback is soft detail and faces not quite up to par but that can be fixed with a good sharp exacto blade,a dremel and elbow grease. I replace the heads anyway.
The big plus side is you can get this set for the same cost as one premium resin fig!
