WIP Mitches Military Models 200 mm Typhoon pilot

[Fantom]

I’ve been working on this for awhile now. Major fit  issues, the arms where either not sculpted correctly or something went wrong in the casting process, because both arm would not sit flush at the seam…you can see in the pics I used styrene and lots of super glue to fill the gaps. Another issue I had was lines in the casting as though the mold halves were misaligned. Some of these are visible on his back. These lines were on his back and both legs and very hard to get rid of. I fixed his arms by shoving milliput  into the joints and re sculpting and I’ll post pics of the primered repair later tonight.  Notice the unrealistic lay of his jacket around his equipment. I was disappointed in the quality.
