Master at Arms
I jumped on Moebius' new kit once I learned about (after seeing Joe's posts). I'm a sucker for this type of kit and looks like they're releasing the whole gang from the old TV series. Robin is due out in August.
Moebius has really stepped up the styrene game when it comes to TV/Movie/SciFi stuff. They're nearing resin as far as quality of sculpt IMO and this kit practically fell together. I only needed to putty a few spots and that was really just to try to hit the level Terry is writing about in the competition threads. So in that vein, even though it's early, let me have it...
Opening shot of the assembled subs, ready for primer:
The putty-work on the boots. It's not solid, the line is a indentation seam of the boots, front and rear. It was really just to get uniformity (no pun intended...okay, yes it was) more than a glaring need, the fit is beautiful.
The gloves have the same seam. I made the shoulder seams a little more shallow even though they were tight in after gluing. Look at the thigh and front of the leg, that's how tight the untouched kit seam is. Excellent.
I would be priming it right now, but I want to go over the inside of the cape with putty. There's a sizable step from the mold separation. It's worth it for how good the outside of the cape is, and for the most part it will be blocked by the body, but in the light of hitting every spot to the best of my abilities, I will putty the unseen. I even did the bottoms of the boots. :v
Here's the cape after scaling and sanding, but there's some spots I need to hit with Aves.
