Live Resin kept their promise, releasing Polaris Quad kit in 1/35 scale, along with several stowage sets and Spec Ops figures. Wow!

Here is an interesting post on how to decide on whether to buy a seated or standing ATV rider:

The 1/35 ATV looks amazingly realistic and it's great to see all the options for it. I'll post my thoughts on the long Live-Resin thread (90 pages and counting) instead of this one.

Yaroslav, this is an awesome ATV! However, I do have to ask you a question and make a strong suggestion too...do you plan to make clear resin covers for the ATV headlights? I see the little resin lightbulbs, but without clear headlight lenses, the ATV doesn’t quite look correct and real.

I hope to see clear headlight covers for sale ASAP. I think that’s the most needed ATV accessory not for sale just yet.

Thanks,
Peter

My 2 cents...I can not understand anyone planting their butt in the seat of a moving ATV. Perhaps because my own ATV is a much smaller 250cc 4 wheel drive Yammer-hammer Wolverine, but my butt is usually up off the seat. The knees absorb shock, and you can shift your weight as needed to keep the wheels down. I have been in grass high enough to need to stand to look over as well. The seated figure should have a beer in one hand, as that is when you'd be seated...and stopped. LOL

Seeing a transparent red piece in the back, I would say the headlight lenses are in the set, but not added to the built sample.

Yes, Yaroslav replied saying that four clear lenses are provided for the headlights, but in his rush to take photos, he didn't glue them on. It's a complete kit.

Looks great mine is ordered, hard to choose between drivers. I know you said Live Resin won't do it in 1/16 so I am hoping Legend might
Would love to have this in 1/16!!!! Actually I would buy two in 1/16 with the different drivers
Great work!!!
