Gillman's Terror Bird

This time around on the bench is Gillman's Terror Bird. After the dinosaurs went extinct, it was the Terror Birds that became the top predator in certain areas. 
The kit is a nice casting in gray and tan of odorless resin. The kit comes in 8 pieces - the base, two legs, the body and two heads - one with an open mouth and one with it closed. The open mouth option comes with a separate lower jaw. The 8th piece is arock pedestal for whatever head you don't use, it can be mounted on the pedestal. Good idea. 
 There's no bubbles anywhere and the seam lines are fairly easy to clean up. Once you get the hang of getting the extra resin out of fur or feathers, the kit is cleaned up in 30 minutes.

Paul Gill informed the sculptor, Mark Van Tine, that I was a retired firefighter. So I got a special autograph on the bottom of the base. Very cool! 
More later.
