Rocketman Stinger: Model Review

Today we take a look at the Rocketman Stinger who is a Crucible Guard solo for Warmachine and Hordes.

It comes in 5 metal parts, and also includes a clear plastic flight stand.

The body is finely detailed with a jump suit which visually fits in with the other Rocketmen in the faction.

The attachment point for the rocket pack is large a has a deep hole, however I did find the fit somewhat loose so I would suggest adding some greenstuff to secure the backpack.

The circle part on the lower back is the attachment point for the flight stand.

The arms can be connected with a variety of angles although if you look closely there are pipes/hoses which connect between the arms and the body only at one angle. 

The head is really nicely sculpted with a really interesting gas mask.

The arms have their injection based weapons on each wrist. They are nicely cast with minimal mould lines. I did find it a little hard getting the arms to stay on with their slight bumps which slot into the torso. I would advise pinning these if you have the skill. There isn't much room in the shoulder of each arm though so could be tricky for some.

The rocket pack is nicely sculpted though it did have some mould lines across the back. These took about a minute to remove with a hobby file.

And here it is full assembled.

And the scale shot with Professor Pendrake. 

I found this model to be really nicely sculpted with minimal mould lines. I think it fits in with the faction and the game in general really nicely. The only thing I don't like is the flight stand, but that's because I am not fond of the clear plastic as they are slightly immersion breaking for me. Though I totally understand them being the default way to make a model "fly" as scenic based flight stands don't always end up matching with everyone's army basing style.

And finally I thought I would try something new! 
Using money from my generous supporters over at Patreon I purchased a rotating display stand. I like to put the money form supporters back into improving the content I make.
I'm hoping to get better at making these over time, one thing I know I want to save for is a better camera (I currently use my phone).
Please let me know what you think of this addition to my model reviews. 
I also plan to make similar videos for painted model articles.
With that in mind I have another question for you - should I go back and make these videos for models I have already painted?
