Bowen's Interpretation of Paul Chadwick's Concrete

This 1/8 Concrete resin kit from Dark Horse Comics was sculpted by Randy Bowen. Unlike many of my collection, I was unfamiliar with the character when I bought the kit in a garage kits shop in Las Vegas many years ago. I was simply attracted to the beauty of the kit itself. Simplicity, rather ironically, is what I think the true beauty of this kit. It is not very dynamic in the way I would describe some of my other kits. I remembered one of my sisters, who had no knowledge of this Comics character like myself, commented that it was simply a cool looking kit. As the saying goes, ‘Logic leads to conclusion; emotion leads to action.’ It was one such occasion where I had impulsively followed my emotion and bought this kit. This kit had been professionally built and painted. Due to its simplicity, I think the paint job itself is even more demanding because the painter had not much of other means such as rich details to rely on to bring out the character than with just the skill of painting itself.
