One excellent birthday present I had was a Grey Knights Dreadnought from Forgeworld. This is a fantastically detailed model, with lots of engravings, purity seals
These are the parts that you get.
You can see the detail on this close-up.
This is another view of the parts this time with the bits that you need to cut off highlighted.
These are the cleaned parts.
One of the issues I had with the model was the large piece of superfluous resin on the back which I literally had to hack off.
This was no small piece of sprue this was a large chunk of resin.
Next stage is to stick the thing together (and order some arms).
