| HISTORY |
Inside the box are 3 identical light tan rubberized plastic trees of
parts. I am no fan of rubberized plastic. It is very hard to remove seams from
and the surface repels paint. The kit advises to wash the parts thoroughly in
detergent and priming them. This may help with the paint adhesion.
Each parts tree has 5 horses, 5 riders, 3 shields and 3 spears. Two of
the figures have spears molded into their hands. One figure has a sword molded
into his hand. The horses are all molded at full gallop and have base plates
under their hoofs. The parts have some KNOBS on them to remove.The back of the
box serves as the painting and assembly instructions. The kit is aimed at
wargamers and modelers over 11 years of age, but not under 3 due to the
possibility of youngsters possibly swallowing the small parts.
I recommend this kit to the wargamers that it is aimed at and general
modelers that have interest in figures from Ancient Rome.
