It is with a heavy heart that I type this post, I finally went to get my Orc Shaman and Chakax of the Lizards. Eagerly arrived, got it! When I got home, it was finecast... So ja, unfortunately not much I can do about it especially since the 2 particular models I was looking for is very scarce in South Africa.
When I play a large Lizardmen game, I love putting down a big block of Temple guard, for the fluff and the look. They are beautiful models, and when they are in combat and the opponents just get grounded into nothing it is even better. So for a few years I was looking for Chakax, he has one of the most interesting back stories and the images I saw of the model really tickled my fancy. So the moment I got him I just decided finecast or not he will be assembled and basic painting done. The sprue was at an awkward angle and thankfully all was still in tact. Assembly went quite quick, painting not so much.
Now as you can see this is what gets to me, the sprue is twisted, some of the parts are loose, and the crowning achievement is the amount of mold lines.
After everything has been cut from the sprue things at least look better, a few parts that just need to be properly cleaned up.
This is what he looks like after some paint got slapped on. Really enjoyed him, despite being finecast. The blues and the gold just really gives him the look I like.
Until next time, keep on rollin...
