Unboxing Raging Heroes - Lucky Lucy 'Spotter'

"Cover?...No thanks, I'll be fine here..."

In this feature we're going to look at one of the characters for the Jailbirds...

For those of you who are interested in the background for Raging Heroes various 'Toughest Girls of the Galaxy' projects then the link to their original Kickstarter can be found here, their last project is here and their own website is located here. Most of their original Kickstarter is now available to purchase retail. There is also apparently a game system in development but until then I'm sure there are many other systems that you can be using them for...

First we'll have a brief look at the background for the Jailbirds and then we'll meet Lucy.

THE JAILBIRDS DIVISION (JB)
They are a bunch of low-life bad-ass big-attitude girls who all ended up in planetary prison held by the Kurganov government. In the game, they will be used as small penitentiary contingents led by the Kurganova Shock Troops, or as a full autonomous faction (because, as you can easily imagine, many of them have escaped captivity).

They are commando-style units with nothing to lose, and they specialise in acquiring enemy equipment for their own purposes.

Lucky Lucy 'Spotter'
She's nicknamed Lucky Lucy, because no matter what she does or how obvious she stands on the field, no bullet has ever so much as grazed her... Lucy just won't take cover, no matter what. And luck just follows her, no matter what. Just lucky, I guess...
Lucky Lucy 'Spotter' - Unassembled
Here's pictures of both sides of the unassembled model parts.

A Brief Note About Resin Models.
Also it's worth noting that many resin models have a slightly greasy feel caused by the substance they use to stop them sticking to the moulds during production and this can cause issues with paint not sticking to the model properly. Carefully washing the parts in soapy water will remove this should your model be unduly affected. Parts that are bent (or that aren't and you want to be) can be corrected by heating up slightly in warm water and then bending into the required configuration.

Lucky Lucy 'Spotter' - Assembled
This model has separate arms and a separate piece that attaches to the rear of the head. Both arms and the hair piece have adequate attachment points so assembly is issue free. There's also very little clean-up needed on this particular model.


Lucky Lucy 'Spotter' - Extras
Here's a look at some renders, painted pictures and early artwork from the Kickstarter process that may interest you all.
