Military Modelling 12 2006


Young Miniatures have not been on the figure scene for long, but in that little time they have made a big impact. The driving force behind them is a very talented Korean sculptor called Young B. Song who does the majority of the sculpting, and from his capable hands comes this gorgeous kit. The 90mm figure is a limited run of 300 castings, so get yours quick, as they are very popular and becoming rarer by the minute. Anatomically the figure is perfect, he is depicted with one arm holding his billowing cloak, and a helmet in the other. It is a proud stance, but at ease following a battle. Cast in 14 white metal pieces, the kit has minimal flash and reveals some superb detail. With some kits (mine included) there were issues with the cloak to arm join, which has now been rectified by the company and if you discover you have one of these kits Young Miniatures will replace it Being an experienced modeller I had little problem re-sculpting the area and elected to do this rather than wait for a replacement.
