His raised right hand grips the braided hilt of a huge bandage-wrapped sword that rests across his back, its wrapped end reaching down past his left hip, with a small skull on the pommel. His left arm hangs loose at his side, with a ring on one finger. Beside him on his left, a shark made of water surges up out of the splashes with its jaws wide open. His face is pale blue-gray with three gill marks under each eye, small round eyes and a heavy brow, and a deep blue cloth wrap covers his head with a scratched metal plate across the forehead and a crown of dark blue spikes bursting from the top. He wears a high-collared black cloak with red piping and red cloud emblems, a mustard strap with a square buckle across his chest, a wrapped arm guard, dark trousers, leg wraps and open-toed sandals. The base is a jagged purple rock outcrop ringed with translucent water splashes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 resin pieces in total.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFigure, 8 pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e the face, the hair and head wrap, the cloak torso, the legs, two arms and two hands (the raised hand holds the sword's braided hilt).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSword, 1 piece:\u003c\/strong\u003e the bandage-wrapped blade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater shark, 1 piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase, 6 pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e the rock outcrop in two halves and four water splash sections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTallest single piece:\u003c\/strong\u003e the water shark, 84.8 mm (3.34 in) in the sculptor's file.

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: advanced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe water shark is a large piece that leans out from the base on his left side.
