This plump fellow, when devoid of arms, has the curves of a pear. Once you put the arms on him and give him that hefty ax, he doesn't look so tasty anymore. I dare you to try and take a bite out of this guy. Anyway...the resin on this kit was pretty cleanly cast. There was just a bit of cleanup around some rough mold-lines. I used the same colors on this kit as I did on the smaller bust of the Gamorrean. It was difficult to make this kit look as good as the other one as this one had less texture to work with. I tried airbrushing, but it just didn't work as effectively as the other kit. The Gamorreans had a really rough look that is difficult to achieve with anything but subtle dry brushing. Construction was a pain on this kit because the solid resin arms were really heavy and they had to be delicately positioned to hold the ax. The ax was just two pieces of resin that you had to stick in his hands. I painted the handle light brown and painted the blade the same way as the armor on the Gamorrean. That's basically it. It's hard to say much about this kit without repeating what I said in the bust write-up. I got this kit on eBay for around $20.
