This is a 'garage kit' and I like it because it reminds me of kits that I remember from the 1990's. It's an all resin kit that includes monofilament for the banjo strings. 

Four different head options are included and one of them is of Alfred E. Neuman! That was practically the selling point for me anyway. 

I haven't started cleanup yet but the cast quality looks great. No bubbles and all the details are intact. There are 'filler' material pieces in the large cast parts like the body so I've yet to determine if this will affect clean up and painting.

Kit Contents

The only part that arrived broken was one tuning peg. Easy to fix

Back of banjo showing holes already drilled for monofilament strings

The arms, hands, and legs have keyed joins

Torso join. Notice the green filler material

Neck joins in the torso collar. Also, notice the green filler material in the left chest area

Five different plaques are included

Quick mock-up

Notice the unnatural position of the banjo because I fit the banjo in between the arms and hands after assembly. I'll have to fit the arms and hands around the banjo during the final build. 

A cool, weird, and funny kit to start the new year. 

I purchased my kit from Monsters In Motion
