Roswell Japan 1/3 Alien Bust by Yoshihiko Sano

looks fantastic. MK, is that a fixed dome version?

Thank you much V. this the A-2 non fixed-dome version. It does look awesome, you will like this piece. Mouth is a couple milimeters more open than it should be because the jaw is loose, need to buy some glue.

Yea, I'd probably keep if it has only a minor paint chips and a loosened part. A bit re-touch will make it looks like nothing's happened.

I was looking it over and the paint rubs are small everything is under the dome and difficult to see, the jaw looks very easy to reglue. Don't forget to request a Sano signature if possible.

Absolutely gorgeous pics MK (put my dodgy pics to shame)

I bought two of the Sano A2's . . . One from Roswell and one from Hobby Search. The HS one arrived today but don't have time to unpack that one tonight. Have just finished unpacking my Robocop bust and have to get that all squared away, or my wife may blow a valve.

If I do have any damage it's nice to know I can send it back and they will cover the cost. Although, a limited edition one of one signed by Sano would be a very satisfactory solution too

Just a A2 and a kit version. Yea, it will be great if he can sign it after the repair.

Awesome pics, MK. It sure looks beautiful!

That's great. Yea, I'll definitely request to have it signed.
