@biggabum Lol… You have my condolences for the trip into the great beyond which lies outside your hobby hideaway. I recommend watching the film Krampus as it opens with a great ision of what Christmas commerce looks like. I’d say that the idea of cooking the lamb would be best done by the experienced chef but how often does he stop by? As a consolation prize here is what I can say about the two large models.

Wow, there is almost no tolerance in the molding for the Signum model for the Konstantin figure. Its essentially a knight on an armored chocobo (what Signum is calling an oronox) for an easy Final Fantasy explanation of the mini @dawfydd . Setting the right side of the figure has been a pain in trying to get the proper alignment for the fore and rear legs to sit properly. Once set into their respective slots without the rider they are quite snug and press against each other. When trying to set the rider’s right leg between the oronox’s limbs its a nightmare for dry fitting. You can see there were issues with the fitting even in the website photo of the figure. I don’t recommend it for the novice to jump into if you haven’t pinned for a while. Having a sense of spatial interaction is a must. Here’s my plan to address this issue for the build. This all should give me a better idea of what kind of gap filling that needs to be done.

1. Set the right foreleg in place
2. Try to dry fit the rider’s leg in place along the figure
3. Dry fit the right oronox leg to see where the alignment problems lie

Looking at it there is no way this can’t be done as a single piece paint job. Subassembly is required. I didn’t expect this to start me thinking of this as a project piece but just beginning the report of my findings moves me to do so. I guess that means I need to put in my order for the resin plinths.

Krampus is also very finely cast and the tolerance for where the mini fits together again is very slight. With that the joins are well done and almost seamless other than where the horns fit to the head. With minimal gap filling this will definitely be a sweet figure. Again the 60mm base will require a special order since this will not be a run of the mill play piece. I want to show this off and have people other than me go “Ooh” and “Ahh”. Getting into the Christmas spirit I’m putting together the Bad Santa from Enigma minis. Sadly it looks like, despite having the license (according to Wiki of Lost Minis), Coolminiornot.com looks like they aren’t making any more.
