The Colonel Shoots, The Colonel Scores !!! (Part 3) - Magenta Review
So, let us see what we have ... ladies and gents, boys and girls, I present to you, the Dystopian Wars France Magenta Battleship (clicky for biggy) ...
Contents ...
Some sides/tops ...
Other sides/tops ...
Two for the price of one ...
Floating ...
Flying ...
Thus far, Outstanding, in all respects.
The Cons ...
(1) Expected and minimal mould line, around the hull, from a 2-part mould,
(2) Resin spur (easily dealt with),
(3) Smallish indentation, which will require filling and clean-up,
(no details affected in all cases)
(4) There are three, small, mis-alignments, of the plate-joins, on the port of the 'flyer' (added after posting - CS).
The Pros ...
(1) Excellent concept, design, packaging and detail (on resin and metal),
(2) Two versions, with bits for both,
(3) Essentially no flash/mould lines, except for that shown above,
(4) Chunky and satisfying to hold and go meeeeeooowmmm with.
Would I buy one or more? Damn right ... it really is a Fine Cast.
Any questions, please fire-away beeeelowwwww.
