Good looking sculpture. Finding bubbles in the resin of Armor35 models is rare in my experience. Thanks, Roman.

How high is she? 75 mm or smaller? I wonder how the size compares to Masterbox Pin-up girls?

Hermann; this model and Girl with Ribbon are both 75mm high. They are made for 1/35, about 8-9 foot statues for 1/35. 75mm tall works out well for 1/20-1/24 scales if these are painted as figures instead of monuments.

Fred, I agree, the defects are very rare in my experience. But as they were here I need to mention that for honest review. First time in my experience from Armor35 as well.

Thanks, I will add her to my Pin-up figures list.

Roman, that link to the painted figure is wonderful! Where did you find her? Thank you!
I like painting monuments because they were sculpted of metals and stones. Granite, I think I would paint with a variety of grays, using stippling to simulate the texture of the aggregate. Granite can be grey, red, or pink and has a lot of shades but I can not think of ever seeing a statue in the latter.
Metal statues can be beautiful when painted fresh, and especially with an oxidized patina. I think this series of monuments should be very popular.

...defects... were here I need to mention that for honest review.
Absolutely! I am happy that you did. Never hesitate to point out flaws. That helps the modeler as well as the vendor.
