Durham Red

Having just finished Hammerstein, it should come as no surprise that I want to do another DWC offering! A "Zed" was definitely a consideration, but I wanted to try something 'new'. So, today I started basic clean-up on Durham Red (some background material can be found here).

The resin kit was 3-D sculpted by DWC stalwart David Richardson, based on the cover art of Empty Suns by Mark Harrison. It is comprised of 7 pieces + the logo-ed base. Unlike every other DWC casting I have had, the casting quality on this one is, ironically, "mortal". Which means it is VG+, but nowhere near exceptional. The fit of the pieces, however, is most certainly the latter: there is but one spot that might require a swipe of putty to get it just right. 

Clean-up is minimal, as we have come to expect; however, there are a few mods on the T-D list that might delay the transferal to the painting bench. . .

More to follow. . .
