Ultracast Bare Heads Sets #35021&35022
Eric Mac Intyre
As a welcomed addition to their already fine range of 1/35 scale figures,
Ultracast now offers two different sets of bare heads. Each pack contains five different
heads depicting both different hair styles as well as facial expressions.
Both sets provide the modeler with a wide choice of hair styles, everything from a short
clean cut look, to a messy longer hair look that a soldier would develop after
spending some time in combat. There are even a couple of heads which very successfully
demonstrate the onset of male pattern balding.
Facial expressions are as individual as the hair styles. All faces are masterfully done
with detail which sets new standards in the industry....even the noses are different from
head to head. What more could you ask for?
All of the heads are superbly cast in a cream yellow resin and are typical of the
excellent quality offered by Ultracast. Each head is individually cast on its own block
which greatly facilitates painting. I found absolutely no casting marks, flash, air
bubbles or mold shift on the pieces. They are about as close to perfect as a figure
painter could want.
The heads are interchangeable with other Ultracast heads and could therefore be used to
replace the ones provides with their current range of figures. As a result, a modeler has
now the opportunity to further personalize his figures to suit his needs.
I highly recommend these latest offerings from Ultracast to anyone interested in modeling
figures.
