It is made by Young The packaging is tip top; and on first impressions the resin is the best I''ve seen. Crisp detail; no mars or bubbles and generaly a high quality to all components. This is just a quick picture to show you what you get when you open it, to start the blog wheel a rolling. Better pictures will come. Foam keeps the components safe and sound so no warpage ! I have ideas on leaving the helmet off and doing something with the green stuff and making it a project of some time as well... The baby is on its way so i need something i can get my teeth into for when I''ve got spare time.(if any) So main ideas are 1)build up hair on scalp with green stuff/duro adding the ringlets that Spartan would have worn in his long hair. He looks a young chap so beard may not go. 2) consider shield pattern and produce something interesting. As i think by a quick glance at resources the up turned v for Lamtha (larceondion/Sparta) Didn''t feature till after. But we will see... So come join me for what looks like to be quite a project. Humble apologies of it looks like i havent posted for a while on this, but i guess you chaps will understand Dem
