Ratty Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I did need a second trapper, do you think she likes taste of human flesh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 As long as it doesn't get on her dress I suppose she's opened minded, but definitely looks like a Manhunter to me =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Ooooo... me likey... me want! ME MUST HAVE!!!! Is this produced by CMON themselves or are they selling it for another studio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Maybe usable as an alt Rusty Alyce as well? Very nice fig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I believe it is a CMON Exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 If there was a chance of it being 3rd party CMON often list things as exclusive when they aren't. Still, I've ordered one anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 It's a pretty nice mini, though not sure what I'd use her to represent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucklemonkey Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 A very nice miniature indeed. It's a pretty nice mini, though not sure what I'd use her to represent. Hans or a gunsmith for a Collette crew. Heck, I would use her as Hans for any crew - and I quite like Hans (Except for the fact that my dad is called Hans and he isnt a badass sniper).

LonelyPath Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Okay, my copy of Abigale arrived yesterday and I am not as impressed with it in the flesh than I am with the photo. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice miniature, but there is some bad casting of the left hand large solid chunk of excess resin in it instead of being empty), lots of flash (more than some Citadel FineCast!), the left arm is twisted and the gun is bent about 170 degrees and some of the vents are in places that contain extremely fine levels of detail that can accidentally be cut off trimming the vents. The issues with the arms (along with where the vents are) would have been easily fixed by making this model multi-part, but I suppose that would have made to much sense for some people to try. Also, just sending the model in a padded clamshell/blister would have worked instead of ramming it into a tightly wrapped plastic bag inside a clamshell :/ True, most of the issues are easily fixed with hot water, but I am still going to have to resculpt about half of her left hand. I could contact CMON about it being faulty, but it would take about 3- 4 weeks to get another and I am more willing to resculpt a hand than to wait a month to get a replacement. Despite my complaints the rest ofthe model is nice, the interior of the skirt and legs are wonderfully detailed (you'll have to paint these before sticking her on a base so be careful of that) and the rest of the model is suitably sculpted and cast, but I do feel it's nowhere near the level of Guild of Harmony's Steampunk Dorothy or Tinker Belle (which are tiny works of art) even though it should sit well alongside them on a shelf or tabletop. In all 7 out of 10. Edited March 23, 2012 by LonelyPath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Mine should arrive shortly (in that I have a parcel waiting at a depot) so hopefully I have better luck =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Let me know how yours turned out Panda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Just got mine today and yeah I see what you mean. Mine fared a little better, the only real issue being some flash and the gun is bent just a little bit, but still noticeable. I didn't realise it was a one part model and was really surprised to see it was considering the pose, etc. I also dread trying to paint under her skirt, will probably remove her tab for that. However, the sculpt is very nice, especially her dress and I think her face is perhaps better than Steampunk Dorothy, but overall I think Dorothy is a better executed model while Abigale will ultimately draw less attention to herself which I actually like. So I guess I've been more fortunate, but hopefully the peeps who made this learn from their mistakes and not only produce lovely models, but pracical ones too =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Hamster Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 That's a mighty fine mini, but $19.99 for just one 33mm mini ... Don't know about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Was that how much she cost? oh well =P But I think she is out of stock now anyway so makes the decision quite easy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 $19.99? I paid more than that for Steampunk Dorothy and Steampunk Tinker Belle, but for such exclusive and nice looking models I think it's worth it. I do think Abigale was worth getting, but there were mistakes and flaws in the model that could have been so easily avoided (like having the arms are separate components) and hopefully CMON have learned from it and produce better models in resin in the future as they certain produce some beautiful metals. Panda, good to hear yours came out a bit better tham nine, does yours also have a semi-loose scope on top of the hunting rifle? I noticed the other day that one of the parts holding it in place is snapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Panda, good to hear yours came out a bit better tham nine, does yours also have a semi-loose scope on top of the hunting rifle? I noticed the other day that one of the parts holding it in place is snapped It's a little loose because there's only a single bit of resin attaching it to the gun, but I don't see anything that has snapped, yet at least. This one is gonna get a very gentle soap bath before being painted (Abigale, not me, that would be weird). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Mine came with 2 bits holding the scope in place, but one of them is snapped so the sight twist if not careful, I'll likely cut it off completely and pin it if possible, will make a more secure bond. But yeah, very very gently soap wash this this model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritz the cat Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 is this model 28mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 It's 32mm going by the size of the miniature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yeah, I'd say 32mm. Also saw the same problems you guys did, with the left hand and the bent barrel. Also one of the release lines seemed to be connected right to the dress...and I think another might have been on the hand, hence that weird molding issue. However, overall, I'm quite pleased with her. An excellent showpiece, quite pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
