You can see the edges have been filed/smoothed but the casting seem remains. Surface details are soft/soapy. Edited by Biancasdad 07/16/2020 3:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

If you'd like, post a couple others on separate threads here and we can take a look at them too. I'm hoping it won't be "win none, lose all" with this lot.
