Crystal the Street racer

a great looking mini, printed well. aside from snipping off some resin ‘legs’, its practically ready to go, right out of the packaging.
if i had to make one complaint about the design, it would be the neck seam. whenever you have a neck that has to be connected to a bare chest, you get an awkward ‘seam’ in the skin. there are some crafting tricks you can pull to try and mask it, but it’s hard to do and keep the piece looking natural. my suggestion would be to give such characters a necklace or choker. that way, any seam will look like the gap between jewelry and skin, as opposed to a hole in the skin itself.

i also received the mini packed into a cardstock deckbox. if that’s their new standard, i definitely approve. its lightweight but sturdy and putting an actual deck of cards in will hold the flaps down. cheap but effective, so ill definitely be holding onto it for later use.

for those that are interested, the mini comes in 8 pieces.
– motorcycle main body
– motorcycle handlebars and front ‘turbine’ engine
– motorcycle rear exhaust
– rider body with full left leg, and half right leg
– rider right boot
– left arm, holding gun
– right elbow (connects to hand already sculpted into the handlebars)
– head
