This is the first ever Finecast model I bought, actually x3 I purchased Imotekh some three or four years ago, and only just got around to painting him up, because his model was fucking atrocious :3
I replaced the bottom of his staff, cleaned up his cape...cleaned up some garbage textures...His lower jaw's still missing, but no one can really see that :V Now he actually looks presentable :3
He is also for sale: http://www.ebay.com/usr/papernecron

The only way I can think of to 'fix' this is to bend him (already painted) back upright, drill through most of his body, and ram a copper pin the entire way so he has a skeleton to stand on. There's literally so many bubbles on the inside that he's not structurally sound. And this is my 'best' one. As a side note, an ebay 'rescue' of some striking scorpions got me some chinacast ones that.. the material they use is better than finecrap LOL. And the caster tried to fix some of the bubbles even!
For me, finecast has been a lot of hit and miss. I do have some amazing models, for finecast anyway. Some flaws, of course, but I've come to expect that. Doesn't bother me that much.
Perhaps I've been lucky. But If we're talking just bent weapons, that's kind of in the "good"-range for me, compared to how it can be!

It SEEMS to be race-specific. I've traveled the world of Finecast, and from my experience, the good ones are: Imperial Guard, Eldar, Chaos Warriors, Tyranids (I think that might be subjective, I feel like the bubbles might just blend well with the chitinous appearance), and CSM to some degree.
Necrons and Dark Eldar are terrible, space marines are typically God-awful, the few Brettonian models I've seen are bad, and then tau and orks are hit-or-miss.

I think I have him lying around although also in "Finecrap", I have quite a few ammount of finecrap models. Some of them are really well made as in 0 to no damage. Probably got lucky about that, but one finecrap model type that goes well no matter what, Nurgle! XD
If you wanna know why I call it finecrap, friends of mine disliked the first run of them, alot of damages and whatnot that was visible from outside the blister packs, one of my friends commented that his reason for calling it finecrap was because they're made of diamond dust and cocaine, reason for some of those models costing alot.
