The art work really says it all, and it is what got me in and to buy it, and at $27.00Au, its a bargain.

Build one of the earlier releases of this kit (without the figure) and it's a real gem! (check here for some WIP pics: Harley Davidson WLA | Project by TvD (1:35)).

Very nice idea and fine details. Seems to be a promising kit. Only the folded hands (photo no. 9) does not look as good as the rest.

It will be some time before I tackle these Gems guys, as I still have the 'Uhu' to finish and then, a huge project I have been asked to do, so, be patient lads. 🙂 👍

Thanks for those sprue shots, Kerry! MiniArt does impressive detail on their kits. A shame that to few of their products get the attention they deserve!
