His right foot is planted on top of a battered rooftop vent unit and his left steps down onto a black duct elbow, so he stands at two heights. One sai is drawn back high behind him and the other is held low in a reverse grip in front of his belt. The big round head wears a ragged red mask tied at the back, with two long torn tails twisting up above it, narrowed eyes and a wide clenched grin. He has a yellow front shell plate, a gray-green back shell, a brown cloth belt knotted at the front, ribbed knee and elbow pads, red bands on the upper arms, and cream bandage wraps on his forearms, fists, shins and feet. The base is a dented metal vent unit with louvered panels, brass trim and hex bolts on a stepped plinth, with a duct elbow, a thin looping pipe and a small screw-plated box, all on a slab of cracked pavement.\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, 9 pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e the head with the mask band, the mask knot with its two tails, the torso with both shells and the belt, two arms, two wrapped fists and two legs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeapons, 2 pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e two sais.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase, 5 pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e the vent unit on its stepped plinth, the large duct elbow, the thin looping pipe, the small box with screws, and the cracked pavement slab.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTallest single piece:\u003c\/strong\u003e the torso with its shell, 64.8 mm (2.55 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 sais are very thin, with fragile side prongs and tips.
