Blaster Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I bought this piece many years back when travelling. This is a copy of the Julius Caesar figure but it came assembled and silver/black patinated. The marking below the stand reads "Award International HK" and "Made in HongKong". /media/tinymce_upload/c3b5fdde00c42732bc68737b0f57a2dd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Ah the old 'Made in Hong Kong' copies that plagued our childhood 😛 I'm guessing its a one piece moulding, but is it plastic or metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaster Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hi Ratch,I took some detailed pics for your ref.It is plastic, not a single moulding but appears to be assembled from various kit parts. I am not familiar with the original Airfix kit but the pics show the mould lines here for a direct comparison with the original kit.Plastic base is moulded black colour. The figure appears to be black plastic washed with silver patina colour. /media/tinymce_upload/a3073fb482b1a821aef5ec181150c07c.jpgNotice that the comb is separate from the helmet./media/tinymce_upload/414f9587d2f998c0362cf87ca67f46e6.jpgMould lines along the side of the figure/media/tinymce_upload/837451257f5f5db1563c0354444b1f27.jpg Mould lines along the legs. The legs are separate from the torso and appear to have been assembled separately then fixed to underside of torso. A typical Airfix 1/12 figure assembly.

The gladius is a separate moulding with a seam line./media/tinymce_upload/ae6d1c8674f1268a060f6a9cb4e541dd.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/edcd2d16cc1c2ffaf8d009625bd7b684.jpg The dagger is moulded to the torso. The cloak is a separate piece from the rest of the figure with its own mould lines. I assume therefore that the head assembly is separate from the torso as it has to fit into the top hole of the cloak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Looks like they've taken a cast of a built model and split it in two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
