As advertised I assembled and painted the first three minis of Mannikin Studios fae tree series.
Here they are:
Grimm’s Cat
Grimm’s Owl
Two Corbies
I really love the theme and the quality of the sculps. On the other hand I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the resin cast on some of the minis. The Owl had a noticable flash line, but this was not a big issue with a resin mini and fixed rather fast. The main problem I had was with the “Two Corbies” mini. The branches of the tree were very thin and one of them was snapped in my blister. Assembly and repair took quite some time (and modeling putty) and the result is a very fragile mini.
The price of $12.50 is another problem. I think it’s very steep for the minis, especially the “Two Corbies”. It would have been ok for metal minis (which would have been the right material for the “Two Corbies”) but it’s a bit too expensive for resin.
Nevertheless the minis look great and have a very unique feel to them.
Thanks for the review. It’s always a treat to see our models painted up so beautifully.
Do you mind if I share your work and link to your article on our website?
Thank you for the beautiful models.
Of course you can share my work and link to the article. I’ll take new pics of the minis in the coming weeks, as my new photo equipment finally arrived.
