Knight Models' Gambit (KMV007)--epilogue

I know I underscored the softness of the metal in my review of this kit, but after working on this piece for a couple of hours, all I can say to the folks at KM is, "Upgrade your casting alloy--or switch to resin!"

I accidentally dropped the left arm while working on repositioning it, and when I recovered it, it was obvious it landed hand-first. How do I know? The hand was bent 30° off-line! We're talking about a less- than-a-metre drop onto vinyl flooring!!

So. . . whereas earlier I advocated special care in handling, now I would emphatically recommend it! That or plan to add 20-30% work-time to cleaning-up the miniature after you've cleaned it up!

CAVE!
