Model Jarriere

This is a nice model, but it's not a beginner's job. There's a moderate amount of flash to be removed and the arms need fastening on, as does the base. The arms don't fit completely flush so some work with modelling putty is needed to smooth out the joins.

This is a white metal model, so the arms need attaching with superglue or similar. Ideally, the arms need fastening with a metal pin to make them more secure.

For those who want to paint the model, but don't want the hassle of assembling it, we offer the following:

• Assembled model - flash removed, arms pinned and glued, joins filled in with modelling putty and a matt black spray-paint undercoat applied. This costs an extra 3 pounds (it takes a lot longer to do than you might think). Assembled by Kelvin Proctor.

• Fully painted model. Painted by Kelvin Proctor.

The model is available from:

Imar Models as a kit only and as a kit, assembled and fully painted through Judith.

As a kit: Priced £8.30 UK and Europe, and £8.80 or $15 to the USA and Australia.

Assembled and matt black: Priced £11.30 UK and Europe, and £11.80 or $21 to the USA and Australia.

Fully painted: Priced £16.30 UK and Europe, and £16.80 or $29 to the USA and Australia.

Review by Julia Jones

Not quite my idea of Jarriere, but not bad when seen in a group with the other figures. Actually, looking at the line-up in front of me at the moment, I think he works much better seen as part of a group than on his own. I'd love to see him with a Servalan figure:-)

Two part this time, base and figure. As usual, there's flash to be removed if you're making up the figure from scratch. Black and grey outfit, with the detail picked out quite well on the moulding (although I've not gone back and compared it with the original).
