Has this Gunner been got at?!

e30318is · Aug 15, 2012

I think my Ebay Imperial Gunner has been touched up!! It was advertised as mint, and I paid £16 for him (without weapon) I really don't like the look of one of the imperial symbols on his shoulder….. Im 99% positive that he has been got at, but I have only ever had one other Gunner through my hands.

What do you think?! (Sorry for the TERRRRRIBLE photos

)

The other looks more regular:

Thanks in advance :lol:

That one side does seem to look a little off. I'll have to check my gunner when I get home from work.

Here's the pic from the RS photo archive which matches more like the other side on yours.

Does look a bit blobby doesn't it!

End of the day if you aren't happy with it for whatever reason just send it back.

Got a link to the auction? Might be able to file a not as described if they mention C9/mint etc as even if its not touched up it isn't very nice looking and definitely detracts from the figure!

*the more I look at it..it could be a bad paint app from the factory? but wouldn't want to bet on it*

Just had a look at my Imperial Gunner the symbols on mine are much neater and defined.

The first pic does look a bit blobby and unless it is clearly a factory error, I would say someone's had a go at touching it up.

Got to agree mate. That doesnt look right! I agree with Joe file a not as discribed case mate

I want to see some better pics Ed! Stop being so lazy! Feel like Ive got beer goggles on looking at those :lol:

wbobafett · Aug 15, 2012

yup...pics are too bad!!!

It looks like "bad sprayed" (originally)....I would give it a go...but pictures are really bad.....though

My first thought was bad apps as well.

Sorry for the delay chaps, here you go:

It would be fairly convincing, but the guy used silver paint :roll: :lol:

Dark Sith Lord · Aug 16, 2012

That just confirms it IMO He made a pretty poor job too :roll: :?

itfciain · Aug 16, 2012

Not sure - my gut is that it is a bad factory spray job rather than a touch up

tundra9 · Aug 16, 2012

Looks like a double spray to me. Factory one that is..

Caswellbot · Aug 16, 2012

Looks touched up to me mate. The area in the bottom right of the emblem doesn't look like it holds the same shape as that part of the detail should. I would have thought that if it was a bad spray op or double spray it would show the right detail but perhaps be misaligned?

The area looks pretty suspect as if it was done by a brush. Just my opinion mind. :wink:

Edit: Also looks a slightly different shade to the majority of emblem to me.

Looks like a touch up Ed

For a second there,i thought you guys were talking about Van Persie

momike · Aug 16, 2012

The colour dose not look right to me just looks to bright and odd at the bottom.

tiefighterboy · Aug 17, 2012

Touch up with a shaky hand and poor color matching skills.

BlueDog · Aug 17, 2012

Looks a bit dodgy to me Ed.

As they say in the cult Aussie movie,STONE............................."who evers got you's gonna get got too"! :lol:

Bloody terrible film but a classic all the same, you may notice a couple of the actors that went on to rolls in Mad Max.

Has this Gunner been got at?!
