I finally finished the christmasy November Monster Box from Asset Drop:
Krampus was intermittently a PITA. He has multiple instances of mould shift, putting huge defects through annoying places, most of which I was able to remove. The connection points in the head for the horns have little square holes for the little square pegs on the horns. Except there aren’t any square pegs on the horns. The vents are there and where the pegs should be there were amorphous blobs instead, meaning there was zero guidance in making the horns line up. I did my best using pins, but at some angles I think they still look a little lop sided perhaps? Hopefully I just got a bad cast, but if this is representative of the quality of their production then I would recommend avoiding them, no matter how nice their models look.
Then, once I had him fully painted, fully built, and was half way through applying my second coat of varnish the little bar-steward decided to jump off his holder, fly through the air and roll across my carpet, picking up little bits of fluff in his wet varnish, and breaking through one of his horns! Gah!
