Before reading, know that I printed at 1.5x and had to print it twice.
Don't get fooled by the last image, it's a texture-less composite spliced onto the background, the print has some major issues that you REALLY need to work through before painting and gluing.
So, the coat is in two big pieces, which makes you want to join the coat first because the significant gap that you have to fill on the coat, but trying to join the coat to the arms is damn near impossible because there is no alignment/joining pin on the right arm. Which is then exasperated by the heavy coat. Also, the third point of contact for the body, the hips, doesn't have an alignment pin for the coat either. So, if you are going to do this print, line everything up and hold the hips firmly against the coat, then glue the hips to the coat to help stabilize the body when gluing it to the coat. And as much as I love the pinkle method for skin, I wish I would have worked in flats for this one because the gap filling and painting over would have been easier. AND AND, you would think gluing the hips to the body first might help, BUT you can't fit the model in the coat if you glue the hips to the body first.
Not sure if there is a way to edit these files in meshmixer or something to have more accurate alignment pins without it costing an arm and a leg in resin, but this print DESPERATELY needs more alignment pins, that or, the joint for the arms needs to either be at the bra strap, or lower towards the coat.
Also, it comes with a second, "alternate" body, but after printing both I have no clue what the difference is.
All in all, 7/10, supports were perfect, prints were nice an detailed, the glue up was horrendous because of the arm joints.
Won't be too much of an issue if you REALLY work through your glue up and compensate by gluing the hips to the coat.
