I will tell you this was one terribly made resin kit. The base is solid resin but Tabonga is hollow-cast and the feet do not even remotely fit in the indentations on the base. And it was paper thin in some spots but you don't know that till you squeeze it a little too hard. Had to re-sculpt the base to make it fit the feet and to make him not tilt forward. At least the likeness is correct. Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

A your diligence definitely paid off here .. I've got a couple resin project with the thin areas you're speaking of .. Thin as notebook paper in places .. Very fragil .. Great fab work here as well ..

Attachment DeletedThanks! I had never come across a hollow-cast figure before but it weighs just a fraction of that heavy base. Had to remove the bottoms of his feet to fix my squish marks from inside the legs. Worked out in the end. He leaned over so far it was obviously a defect in the casting. Oh well - I dig the movie so I had to build him. He must be what Groot from "Guardians of the Galaxy" is based on.
