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 TV news reporter from a classic 1980s cartoon. She leans back against a chain-link railing with one boot up on a numbered crate, holding a microphone up near her shoulder. She has short auburn curls and wears a yellow jumpsuit with rolled sleeves, a white belt and white boots. The base is a sewer scene: an octagonal steel grate, a rusted brick wall with pipes and a round hatch, and green ooze dripping off every edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 resin pieces in total.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFigure, 9 pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e head, hair in two pieces, torso, two arms (one holding the microphone), legs and two boots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase, 6 pieces, including the grate slab, the brick wall with the chain-link railing, and the crate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTallest single piece:\u003c\/strong\u003e the legs, 158.2 mm (6.23 in) in the sculptor's file.

It may not look in scale next to other 1:6 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: advanced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe touches the base in three places: one boot on the grate, one on the crate and her hand on the railing.
