These designs inhabit a cyberpunk world of my own imagining. Knowledge was the first of this world. A scholar who has turned the gathering of information into a ritual and will go to great lengths to extend his consciousness until he has learnt all there is to learn.
This 1/10 scale multi part resin cast kit was sculpted by Phil Hosking. Measuring approximately 90mm tall when assembled on the supplied plinth.
Comes supplied with a custom fit black resin plinth. This piece also features a clear resin component to add a whole host of painting possibilities. This clear piece will require un-frosting, this can be achieved by finely sanding any imperfections away then applying a coat of sprayed gloss lacquer/varnish or a coat of AK Gauzy agent. Supplied with two clear components to allow for mistakes and testing, ask for more if required.

PRODUCTION
Since first producing these busts I have had wonderful feedback and as such decided to continue production of these and further add to the range. As this was one of the first two in this line I learnt a lot during production. As such you will find remanence of the print masters build lines in the casting. These are an unfortunate flaw in my process that I aim to rectify in the future as I learn and grow as a producer of miniatures.
PREPARATION
Supplied unpainted and unassembled, split lines and risers will require removing. Prior to use it is recommended to clean each piece in warm soapy water to remove residue release agent. Persistent release and silicone residue will remove with spirit based fluid and an old tooth brush. Wash in water after using spirit based cleaners. Parts can be manipulated by gently heating with a hairdryer. Glues with superglue.
Your plinths may arrive in a sanded and prepared state, each and every plinth I cast is meticulously inspected for imperfections these are then filled and sanded out. It is recommended to spray in flat coat of black to even out colour finish.
