It’s also a good way to find out whether the hobby is for you, and what finishing a printed model really takes, before you buy a printer of your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fan-art statue of the bald old martial-arts master from a classic martial-arts anime, in a comic pose. He is down in a deep squat with his knees pushed wide and both feet flat on the ground, leaning forward so his head and beard hang out over the front of the base. Both hands are raised beside his face, palms forward and fingers spread. He wears round black sunglasses with a small star at each outer corner, and has white swept-up eyebrows, a long fur-textured mustache and a pointed white beard. His mouth is wide open in a gap-toothed grin, with a comic nosebleed, a drip of drool, pink blush under the lenses and a sweat drop on one temple. He wears an orange jacket with wide sleeves and pale cuffs over an off-white shirt with frog fastenings, full blue-violet trousers gathered at the ankle, white socks and black slip-on shoes. A purple turtle shell of hexagonal plates, scored with scratch lines, rides on his back on a twisted rope over his shoulders. The base is a round, stepped plinth in black, orange and purple bands with a sculpted series logo on the front, topped with paving stones, a flat rock, grass tufts and a low broken stone wall across the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 resin pieces in total.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFigure, 5 pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e the head with the sunglasses and beard, the body in the jacket with both sleeves, the squatting legs and two hands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurtle shell, 1 piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase, 1 piece:\u003c\/strong\u003e the round stepped base with the paving, the broken wall and the sculpted logo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStudio size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176 mm (6.93 in) tall, 132 mm (5.20 in) wide and 137 mm (5.39 in) deep (from Tanuki Figures' notes for this model).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale: about 1:10 (estimated).\u003c\/strong\u003e The sculptor doesn't publish a scale, so this is my estimate of the closest standard scale based on the model's measurements. It may not look in scale next to other 1:10 figures, and scale can differ from one creator to another.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbout the sizes: every measurement above comes from the sculptor's own files or the studio's published size information for the unprinted model. Your printed kit can differ slightly: resin shrinks a little as it cures, removing supports and sanding takes off some material, and the assembled height depends on how the parts are fitted. Treat the numbers as a close guide, not an exact guarantee.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSkill level: intermediate\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe legs, in a deep squat, carry the body, the head and the shell.
