New goodies inbound! I recently went back the UK (where I am from) and picked up one of Mantic’s new resin kits – the Tree Herder. Available from Mantic webstore at 29.99GBP I built the mini, forgetting to take pics.

The packing is a nice cardboard box measuring 6″ x 7.5″ x 3″ and comes with pictures of the product glued. Inside the box are several baggies of resin components and an airbag.
Each of the branches has a number which corresponds to a place on the main body. All the parts fit together nicely with little clean-up needed. I suggest some side clippers for snipping the sprues from the minis.
The mini stands about 6″ high and is 4″ across both axis. The details are super-crisp and the sculptor has created a nice walking pose which stands steady on the base.
My only little criticism is the feet overhanging the base and the very small amount of filling needed on the gaps. Really nothing serious. When building the mini I used thin super-glue, I would recommend thick super glue. I spent quite a while holding the pieces together waiting for the glue to dry.
Next stop – painting..
