Uh oh! Not a good start:
Really not a good start. Looks like Conan works at UPS and got angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry...
Phew it arrived fine inside. It actually turned out way better this go round. That dark reflection is gone. Did have a strong smell of lacquer when I opened it so I'm guessing some personal work via CC went into it. Some with flash and without:
Overall it looks pretty good. Even the gun is a major improvement. No brush strokes to be found on it. I may or may not give it the repaint treatment. I'll be proud to display it as is. For the record it is 59/500.
