Reaper Thorvald, Bear Rider

 This mini is a production fail from Reaper. His right arm and shoulder are not complete and the gauntlet on that same arm is pretty melted. I have some Tamiya Putty on the way to see what I can do to fix him, but that side of the model will NOT be the proper viewing angle! I've never used putty and sculpted before, so we'll see how it goes. He's looking really good so far... besides that side of the dwarfs body.


The proper viewing angle:


Notice the armpit of the pole arm (pun intended). It's really not there, so his stump is attached to the fur cape. Not a good look, Reaper Miniatures.


Again, the proper viewing angle.





The arm has been detached for the 10th time. Is waiting for the putty.
