Ingore the color, as Photoshop desaturated the images a little during resizing. Quite why I don't know?

Compared to my other five 1:4 statues, Derby is probably the best, or on par with Ms.Marvel

More Derby photo's here:

That's what I got to do, the exact same clip broke on mine also...

I noticed. I think I was a little more lucky, as the clip broke in such a way that to glue it back would require the joins to be out of sight. I got the impression with your Derby blue clip was more broken, i could be mistaken.

Maybe the package design should have allowed more room around this area.

How did you get on with adding the base - putting the metal pin into the base. I found it required a fair amount of twisting while applying a downwards pressure, quite a bit of pressure. At one point it did not look possible to get Derby's wheels to connect with the base. I think the front wheels are about 1mm off. The left leg has connect, and the rear wheel's of the right leg have connected, so I guess that should be enough.

My Derby is here, and i'm happy with her...no breakage.







...no screws this time but the usual peg in the base.

Mine required alot of planned effort / force to push the peg in. Didn't want to break the statue further.

I spotted you haven't added the pistol. I have the pistol, although it's not present in the photo's I shot.
