Has this Gunner been got at?!

[e30318is]

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]

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]

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

 

[itfciain]

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

 

[tundra9]

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

 

[Caswellbot]

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]

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

 

[tiefighterboy]

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

 

[BlueDog]

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.
