VLS resins sets are short run products, made with rubber molds rather than steel ones that are used to mold plastic parts. These molds have a short life and wear out after a few thousand shots.
Figures molded this way by VLS are seamless, but have pour lugs that have to be removed, as you can readily see here. Also, the parts should be washed with soap and water to remove any mold release from them. Which at times runs heavy. The pour lugs are best removed with a razor saw and the attachment point then sanded smooth.
This tan resin set consists of 17 parts. There are 2 large wood crates with separate lids and one small one with a separate lid also. 4 spent rounds, 5 live rounds and 2 of what look to be storage tubes.
I was willed this set by a deceased modeler friend of mine along with many other VLS sets who died of cancer years ago.

I am willing to sell the set for a good price + postage.
