Reclaimed Figures, almost complete.

Hi Chaps,

This weekend will see the end of my Ebay Elves which are now mostly repainted. These figures had lost a lot of detail because of the layers of paint...or possibly there was another cause?

A couple of the figures had air bubbles in them which I have never seen on a plastic figure....also the spears seemed a little bendy. As these guys already had a coat or two of paint on them and were securely glued onto their bases it was impossible to tell if they were actually resin or plastic.

Whatever they were made of they are now painted and I have the basis of three units should I stumble upon anymore of these fine figures. I will not be rushing out to create an army but they were fun in their own special way-maybe I will be avoiding previously painted figures in future.........unless they are cheap like these!
