Nightmare!

 This Dellamorteco kit is a representation of the 1781 painting by Fuseli of a woman having a nightmare with an Incubus and the mare in attendance. 


 The kit which is probably really a statue comes completed in black resin with a gray or white drybrush. I would be in 4 pieces - the woman on the bed, the devil and the horse. I'm guessing the parts were attached with a metal rod and hot glue. A little twist separated the horse and devil from their spots. 

This was one of those kits that I built in between my other builds. so it took a number of weeks and with that I would forget to take pics. I only have a few WIP of this build. The first one is after I added the flesh color, and the second is with the model base coat.


 

The original painting was essentially very Black or White.  I wanted some color but tried to de-saturate the colors to make things a little more creepy. I have second thoughts on whether I succeeded or not.  My devil are different reds and my horse is reverted the the black and white. Thanks for looking.

 




The angle change to see the devil eyes.
