Received my Blondie today. Tiny bit of the left boot sole tip chipped off. Tiny cavity there and looks there might have been a small air bubble during casting. Filling with some Tamiya epoxy putty. Other than that, she looks perfect.

Thanks. I wish I had access to a buffer wheel. All that hand polishing took some time.

Here's the list of the shells.

Baby Doll .45 ACP for M1911A1

Rocket .45 ACP for M&K UMP. (Too bad GG didn't give her this SMG as we saw in the digital sculpt. But I gave Rocket the .45 ACP shells so she had something on her base)

Sweet Pea 5.56x45mm NATO for M4A1

Amber 9x19mm for Glock 17

Blondie 5.56x45mm NATO and M27 links for FN Minimi SPW

Also bought some shotgun shells for Sweet Pea, but they don't look as good as the shiny brass and nickel.

The paint on the M27 links was looking sorry. I tried some Testors hobby spray paint. First Flat black and then chrome, but then settled on the Metallic Black as it gave a nice gunmetal like shine. Plus the gloss goes well with the polished brass.

So guys, straight up, how does this line compare to the other industry big boys like Sideshow etc? I'm really thinking about jumping on this line, especially as all the girls are available and can be reviewed.

As a final touch, I just ordered dogtags for each girl with the statue's serial number.
