Knowing you that's going to turn into something quite different from what the box suggests.

Having been tempted by these kits, I'm curious as to the quality of the base kit, so I'll certainly be keeping an eye on this build.

You've spotted the clue Fred, but your hunch isn't quite right

I won't call you a tube for having a go,
That's a perfectly reasonable guess as I have the Musketeer figure as well, and that will probably end up a music one.

The detail is certainly good, especially on all the accoutrements like powder flasks, sword guard, spurs etc.
A bit of flash, especially in the more filigree-like parts.
The plastic feels quite soft and flexible, probably not an issue if it is being built OOB, but as I'll be doing a LOT of filing off, sanding and adding on, it remains to be seen how the base parts will behave.

I see where you're coming from 'Paradise by the dashboard light'....nope! I couldn't afford the amount of filler that I'd need to bulk out the figure to make Meatloaf!!!!

Hmmm, I'm not sure if you're VERY close, or having touched on a key word are now on a reciprocal heading.

To confirm if you're on the right track, but not wanting to give the game away, which of these numbers would apply to the subject? - 1.....2.....or 3?
