Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
And it got me thinking, as Strelets design their Arms series in 3D Software, perhaps they could make their models available from Shapeways, or similar. The models would be more expensive, but they would be better quality because they wouldn't have gotten warped in a mold, or collected flash and seam lines and etc.
I'd be tempted to pay a little more for a gun where the barrel wasn't in two halves that don't quite join up nicely. And because the model pieces wouldn't have to be molded, they could be a little more delicate.
