SimonT - Yufan Model - Seal Support Team 75mm

[SimonT]

Started another figure

Found this online a few months ago and decided I had to give it a go

Bit of an odd one really - billed as a Seal Support Team called Kerry and Aaron.

Sounds ok doesn't it - Kerry is a sort of Lara Croftesque looking lass, still ok, but then you find that Aaron is a kind of evil looking rabbit being carried in her rucksack. He is holding the spare rounds for her RPG-7

Weird


box top


photo from inside the box




parts - all nicely cast in grey resin and contained in clippy bags

the usual casting blocks to remove and some fine mould lines to clean off the larger parts



basic body parts assembled

fit of parts is pretty good but it is still going to take some careful filling and sanding to eliminate the joints


the rabbit has had his head fitted

Oh my word, that rabbit! Looks like a very nice kit Simon. Larger scale should be easier to paint as well.

[SimonT]

Morning Peter

I hadn’t even realised there was a wascally wabbit until I got the kit

Very creepy looking

Not sure about larger being easier - just more to go wrong :smiling5:

[Steve Jones]

An interesting figure Mr T and I shall say no more LOL Good luck

[papa 695]

That looks a nice figure Simon. Different, definitely different.

[Steve Brodie]

looking forward to seeing this come to life

[SimonT]

Steve - yes she has :smiling5:

Ian - certainly is

Steve - just hope I can do it justice with my dodgy painting


Not much to report


just gave creepy rabbit some ears

I did hollow them out with a chisel to make them more ear like - going to need a bit of work blending in the joins

[Guest]

Coming along nicely Simon.

Curious joins - half way up the psycho rabbit's ears for example. Must be a bit of a pain.

[SimonT]

Makes it easier to cast Peter but it will be a bit more work to get rid of the joins

Hi Simon
Strange stuff produced these days. There must be a reason for a rabbit in a rucksac. Looks very well cast and modelled.

[SimonT]

Hi Jim - castings and sculpting are nice
No idea why there is a rabbit though

[Steve Jones]

Who's bothered about the rabbit! Hubba hubba:smiling5:

[Mini Me]

I'm with Mr. Jones Yahoo Baby!
:tongue-out3: Rick H.

[SimonT]

Well, I made a start on psycho rabbits right ear and his head fell off, closely followed by said right ear!

CA'd back together so will see how it goes tomorrow later today - only small contact points so may fall apart again

If it does I shall have to drill and pin to give the joints some extra support

[Steve Jones]

Glad you are sticking with this one. Hope the repairs work out
