FRankenstein"s Creation Finale

 Thanks for stopping back for the finale. Continuing on, the first thing was to cover over all the veins etc. with some yellow ochre. My "new" usual is to then lightly mist the recessed areas with dome Reikland Fleshshade thru the airbrush. While that was drying I added some blues and whites to the iceberg. 

Next was some dark Black Brown for the hair, and then roughly dry-brushed some cork brown on the dark blue gray jacket to simulate grave dirt. ;) I went back and added some Woodland Senics snow to the iceberg and glued that in place

With the skin dried, I added color to all the little cuts and gouges he had including the scalpel cuts. Going back to the hair I went with the next lighter color brown for a few highlights. He was supposed to have really dark hair so I did my best to show the strands while keeping it dark. The eyeballs were already black, so I added the same yellow ochre for the iris, and then added beige to the sclera. Once dried both colors were lightened and then a black pupil was added with a cut toothpick.  The sutures were colored with V's Duraluminum and with that I was finished. 

It was a very cool kit and a fun one to paint. Plus as someone else said not the same ol' Frankenstein.  Thanks for looking.

 

Ghost Christmas Yet To Come

 This winter John Dennett's MoonDevil Studio released to "ghosts" from the series - Present and Yet to Come.
I figured Yet to Come would be a little easier to complete. So I started out with a black primer. Then I looked up the ghosts to see what the details were.
Upon seeing the image - 

 


I was essentially done. But how could I call a model finished with just one coat of primer. So I decided to give it a purple highlight - just enuff to not make it black anymore. Then I just built up the purple for the base. Thanks for looking.

Filmy's Girls Pebbles

 This is a bust produced by Filmy's Girls.  From the site: 

Filmy's Girls resin model kits are created and produced by a team of talented artisans led by veteran modeler Marc Havican.  

At the heart of each Filmy’s Girls kit is a female heroine, posed in a tasteful way that is sexy, yet not offensive.  Each of our designs calls to mind the classic pinup style of Gil Elvgren, incorporating a setting that tells a story in a humorous way.  We want our kits to bring a smile to your face, and to the faces of everyone who sees your finished buildup.

Honestly, these kits are a bit out of my price range. So when i saw a bust offered, I jumped at the chance to own one of Marc's kits.  

Pebbles, if you remember is the daughter of Fred and Wilma Flinstone and as you can see she's grown into a healthy cave woman! ;)  

The 1/5 (?) scale kit comes in 6 immaculate parts - the body/base, head 2 pigtails, the back skirt and IIRC a tooth earring.

 

The beauty part about this kit is that they have already installed magnets into the parts (except for the skirt) so things fit perfectly.  The session ended after I primed the skin a light pink primer. Thanks for looking and check back. 

 

 

Frankenstein's Creation

 Already having a few Frankensteins already, I wasn't so sure I needed another. But when I heard Moondevil studio's  John Dennett used Mary Shelley's written description and it was different than the Universal monster, I had to have it. 

The description of the Creation was a very tall man, with yellow skin that was so translucent that you could almost see the veins underneath. He also had black hair and yellow watery eyes.  

Produced in 2016, this kit has been in the stash for quite a while.  The 1:3rd scale bust comes in two blue resin parts and only has the slightest seam line, mostly seen around what I think the the iceberg base. I forgot to take a pic until I had the primer on it. 

 To mimic the veins under the skin I applied the tried and truth method of super thin lines of many colors with an airbrush. 

 

All the lines really hid the super detail that the skin has, so I took some Citadel Agrax Wash and applied it all over the skin. I also hit the eyes with my usual black.I gave the rest of him his base coats - black hair, a green gray jack, and a gray blue iceberg, and with that the session ended. Check back.

 

DelToro's Wolfman

 Continuing with the Wolfman theme happens to be my favorite wolf-man to date. It's 2010's The Wolfman starring Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins and Emily Blunt. It's the same story as the others - upon his return to his ancestral homeland, an American man (Del Toro) is bitten and subsequently cursed by a werewolf.

 The kit comes in 3 parts of nicely casted white resin. There was an ever so slight trace of a seam in the hairline, which cleaned up in about 20 minutes.  An added bonus was I got a drawing and autograph of the sculptor Mark Van Tine.

I decided to leave the arm off for the time being, but epoxied the bust to the mausoleum base. 

 

Base Coloring started - well maybe a few additional layers on the fur. The face was a little difficult to figure out. Some scenes have him fairly light around the facial features, while other scenes has the entire head dark.  I started out leaving it dark, but it was too dark for a static model. At this point I epoxied the arm on too.

 Visit again for the finale of the Wolfman.  Thanks for looking.
