I painted this because a wonderful friend wanted it for his Cyberpunk Red RPG campaign, and while I usually find it easy to say good things about most models, this is an exception.

It's reminiscent of early Kickstarter tabletop game project models. I'm sure the sculpt looked fine in a 3D package, but the model in hand is bad. Depressingly bad. The mould lines are a mess, and evident everywhere but the plastic material is so soft and pliable you can't correct it without making it worse. The pose is poor as it hides the chest, the most interesting part of the model, behind a weapon of mediocrity. Detail is lossy, rounded, lacking crisp definition and no interesting detail.
An exercise in frustration, and I'm glad it's finished. The fact this was sold with eight Vallejo paints for ~£25 is an indicator of it being a cash-in on the Cyberpunk name rather than a model selling for its quality.
Here's a midway shot where you could see model before the stupid gun hid everything.
