Here are some
pics of my kit.
It is either the first or second casting
from the molds.
As you can see in the picture, the kit
comes in 8 pieces.
(edited to add, that the kit now comes
with a nameplate, and a copy of the
artwork shown above)
IF you want one, ordering info is on
this page.
My completed build is on this
page (with WIP pics)
 
A nice big body.
2 arms
Tail
Two legs.
Amd a nicely expressioned head.
And a nice big base.
Complete with nest of eggs, egg stealing
lizard and other nice details.
 The
parts are crisp, and cleanly cast.
The kit I got had very little flash. Just
a few places with that paper-thin type
flash.
Parting lines were very easy to clean up.
And no air bubbles.
Though I should mention that my casting
had a slight void at the tail end of the
body.
That is probably the 'pour' end
of the mold and was probably just
slightly underfilled.
Not really a big deal and easy to take
care of.
As far as I know, Larry gravity pours his
kits and does not pressure cast.
From what I have seen though, he gets
excellent results.
Overall a nice kit. Good size,
good value for the dollar.
If there are any drawbacks, it is that
the pose makes it impossible for the
piece to stand on it's own. It is way too
top and side heavy and will fall over.
Also would be nice it fhre lizard was a
separate piece. Then you could move it
around, and it would be a heck of a lot
easier to paint.
