Complain and demand they remake the moulds for free? |

I have not paid yet, but if they think that is good quality then I will use someone else. Not interested in them given they think these are and I quote them: "they look smashing!" |

Could it be that when everyone is building the hobby supply market that it all feeds back into itself and makes it more likely to sell products (by synergizing) and does not dillute the market as professed by a particular company in nottingham. Glad to hear some production issues have been sorted. |

Not all have this attitude though. Besides, I doubt Doug sees me as competition! Though in a few years who knows... |

They look to me to be about as close to the original as any caster will manage; some detail loss is inevitable at that stage. What particularly looks bad to you? |

The grooves in the hub caps are miscast. The lights at the back are mis-cast. The door at the rear is barely visible. The lights at the front are mis-cast. The entire surface is pitted and has holes and dents in it. The window slit at the front is messy. The mould line is clearly visible. One of the rear grab rails is only half cast. Many of the straight lines are bent. The MG turret (not pictured) has no barrel, this was not cast at all, nit a bent barrel or a wonky barrel, it is just not there. The rear of the apc has a lump of something stuck to it, looks like something fell in the mould when casting. The rear wheel arch on the right is missing, the lights are just hanging there. Right, on to the trailer unit: The wheel arches on here are NOT miscast, which goes to show they can be done, but they did not bother doing it properly on the main apc, however the hub caps are miscast. The top hatches are uneven and pitted with bubbles. The grab rails are bent and not straight. The door at the back has holes in it and lumps of metal where there should be flat areas. An entire part of the sensor array has been broken and not even cast, it is simply missing. The roof has bubbles and pits in it. The front slope has bubbles and pits in it. You only have to look at my RDF figures or the vehicles from say DRM or EW to see what detail can be gotten from a 6mm tall model, these apcs are much bigger than a 6mm figure and they are much much worse in quality, the masters however were flawless. There is no way on earth I would even give these away let alone sell them. |
