Recientemente dos de los pintores más famosos y activos de la escena pinturil se han sumado a la tendencia actual y junto con su plataforma de patreon/videotutoriales (merece un articulo aparte) y materiales de ayuda al pintor han sacado su marca de figuras. Ben Komets y Matt Cexwish lanzan Ben Komets miniatures y MoJo dilution helpers.
La ultima novedad de la nueva marca de Ben Komets, esculpida por el genial Lucas Pina (Spira Mirabilis), es un espectacular busto escala 1/9 inspirado en un famosisimo anime! Porco Rosso ya esta aquí!
Lately two of the big names on our painting community have joined the recent wave and presented us their new project!

Ben Komets and Matt Cexwish have launched three new products for us. A patreon/videotutorial platform (deserves a whole article), Ben Komets Miniatures and Mojo dillution helpers.
From Ben Komets Miniatures, here we have its latest and first release. Inspired in a well known anime character and sculpted by the brilliant Lucas Pina (Spira Mirabilis) here we have him:
The bust is presented in a wood box with the new brand on the top, very classy and beautiful.
Dentro, envuelto en un papel negro muy elegante viene el busto de una pieza y una bolsita con dos piezas más, un trozo de la bufanda y un pequeño cigarrillo.

Inside wrapped in black paper we find the bust and two little pieces. A part of the flying scarf and a tiny cigarrete.
A primera vista pueda parecer que la bufanda va a ser una de esas piezas que nos da guerra y que cuesta horrores de pegar, pero el corte y el encaje están perfectamente diseñados y en el cuello tenemos un pequeño agujero que nos permitirá un encaje comodísimo.
At first sight one could think that those two pieces would be a nightmare to glue on...but the design is superb and we find two little holes sculpted to place the scarf on the neck and the cigarette on the lip and glue them easily. (Great job here you guys!!)

Igual con el cigarrillo, ya que el labio tiene un minúsculo punto en que apoyarlo cómodamente para pegarlo.
Además tenemos una tarjeta con el delicioso boxart de Ben y un dibujo del diseño a lápiz y dos divertidas pegatinas para nuestra lampara o maleta.

As add ons we find a precious card with Ben's boxart version a pencil design and two stickers for our lamps or transport cases. We love this stuff ^^
En nuestro caso la figura ha llegado con un pequeñísimo daño en una de las tiras del gorro de porco pero nada grave que no se pueda arreglar con un poco de superglue y pulso firme. Quizás un poquito de papel de burbujas evitaría futuros daños ;)
La figura tiene mucho detalle y a pesar de ser un busto es muy dinámica. No se aprecian lineas de molde y el casting es muy limpio. Nos morimos de ganas de empezar a mancharla de color!
Es un personaje con mucho carisma y seguro se verán versiones muy bonitas.
El busto ha sido un enorme éxito de ventas, actualmente agotado pero se esta preparando una segunda tirada así que estad atentos!
In our case it arrived with a little damage on the hat straps due to the travel, but nothing important and easily solved with some superglue and steady hands. Maybe some bubble wrap (not so sexy I know...) would prevent further damages on next shippings ;)

The sculpt is very dynamic and full of details. No flaws or moldlines are visible and the cast seems superb. We are dying to thow him some colours and enjoy the trip.
The character has tons of charisma and surely we will see some amazing versions.
It has been a huge succes and its out of stock for the moment, but it seems a second wave its being casted, so stay tunned!!
