Mantic Strider

The model is amazing, lots of options and a great sculpt overall.The only thing I fell foul of is the fact that the listing said plastic so I cracked out the poly-cement and didn't get very far.I suspect the model is resin not plastic so just be aware of that when buying.I would definitely buy it again if I need another.

One of the better mantic kofels but instructions...come on mantic

The model is really nice looking and a good size, fairly easy to work out what goes where, no instructions included but quite a few parts.I was disappointed by the amount of clean up I needed to do. Its clearly been made on sprues but then been clipped really poorly. Some areas are really awkward to remove the sprue points from due to position on the model.The plastic seems very strong.Some parts I used plastic glue as superglue didn't seem to work but others the plastic glue didn't work and superglue did. Very odd.I'm yet to paint it but I've now assembled how I want it.Rating would be better if the sprues had been clipped off more neatly.

So I ran across this model by happenstance and I’m so glad I did. Assembly was super easy with the help of a little green stuff. The model was a blast to paint. I’ve used this bad boy as a proxy for an armored sentinel in 40k and as an entry point into deadzone. Definitely worth it.

Nice details, easy assembly

Mantic really needs to include assembly instructions with their models or at least a link to a site with instructions if they want to save on paper. I don't care that it was easy to figure out how to put it together but I shouldn't have to figure out one of the three different ways to put it together. The model is good. None of the pieces were warped in this boxed set and none of the pieces were missing or swapped which is too common an issue for Mantic. Not the best on the field but love the walker.

The Strider can be built in multiple configurations for the different factions of Deadzone or Warpath.Could also be kit bashed easley for conversions.Wash it with warm soapy water and use super glue to assemble it.

Plastic is a bit rubbery and covered in mold lines that must be cut away rather than scraped. Some large gaps in certain places. Nothing terrible, but nothing special about the kit. It does provide a few options for assembly on those keen to do so.
