Days to change your mind
Brass takes a patina. That is the point.
No plastic, no painted resin. Brass darkens with time and with your fingers — after a few months your specimen will not be quite the colour it is in these photos. Every joint is a real screw in a real thread.
THE BUILD
Three evenings, roughly
1 — Open the box
A bag of metal parts and a manual. Nothing pre-assembled. Clear a table.
2 — Build it leg by leg
Every segment is screwed in by hand. Slow on purpose — that is what you are paying for.
3 — Set the pose
The joints hold. Raise a leg, tilt the body, put it where people will see it.
Questions
How does 2 + 1 work?
Put any three specimens in your cart. The third one is free — the discount is applied automatically at checkout, nothing to type.
How long does it take to build?
It depends on the model and on you. The 90-part kits are an evening; the 300-part scorpion is the long one. There is no hurry.
Do I need tools?
It is fine work with small screws. A pair of tweezers and a small screwdriver make it easier.
Is it suitable for a beginner?
Start with The Widow at 90 parts. The Stinger at 300 is not a first build.
