His right foot is planted on the low front slab of the base and his left is up on a raised block, so he stands at two heights. One blade is held level across his front and the other angled forward from his outstretched arm. The big round head carries a ragged deep blue mask tied at the back, with two long torn tails flaring up in the wind, narrowed cyan eyes and a wide gritted-teeth grin. He wears a brown leather belt knotted at the front with a matching strap over one shoulder, two empty scabbards crossed in an X on his brown shell, orange-brown knee and elbow pads held on with blue bands, and cream cloth wraps on his forearms, hands, shins and feet. The katanas have pale steel blades, black four-lobed guards and brown cord-wrapped grips. The base is a cracked two-level slab of broken gray pavement with loose rubble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 resin pieces in total.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFigure, 6 pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e the head with the mask and its tails, the torso with the shell, belt and strap, two arms with wrapped fists, and two legs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwords, 3 pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e the two crossed scabbards for his back and two katana blades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase, 1 piece:\u003c\/strong\u003e the two-level broken pavement slab with rubble.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTallest single piece:\u003c\/strong\u003e the head with its mask, 69.0 mm (2.72 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: intermediate\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe two katana blades are very thin, with fragile tips and small contact points at the guards.
