Ghost of Christmas Present Finale

 Picking up where I left off, I started making the base look a little more busy my painting varied lines on each stone. hen that was in place I painted a blaz of blue to help tone that down, and to create the idea of cold.

I then added more color details to the beard. Haven been given a digital copy of the story, I read this ghost's description. All was ok, except it said his hair was a dark brown. Having done all that work, I couldn't just change it all, so I darkened it just a little. 

Finally, back to the base I added a little snow to complete the picture, and I was done. Thanks for looking. 

 

Ghost of Christmas Present

 I received this kit from John Dennett so close to Christmas last year, that I didn't have time to get it painted. He's been staring at me all year and now it's time to get him finished and with the other characters. 

The Ghost of Christmas Present from the 1951 Christmas Carol comes in 2 parts - the bust and the base, in nearly flawless resin. There was the faintest seam line in one spot that scraped away in in a minute.  

 As always I started in right away.not looking at any images. And right away I got things wrong. With the beard I thought Santa, but I wanted a non-Santa look. So the idea was the white beard, and a green robe. When I decided to check an image I got it half right. All the images show a green robe, but he had a reddish brown beard. So time to change. Here was the pic I decided on using (even tho it's not the 1951 version). 

I started with the "pinkle" face color and then green for the robes and garland. Then I got out the Hull Red for the hair. I followed that out with some fair skin tone to lighten it up. I blacked out the eyes and when dry hit it Deck Tan.  Forgetting to take pics, this is where I'm up to. Thanks for looking and check back for the finale. 

 

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.

Kreature Kid's Ghost Bust Finished

This guy has been sitting around for a few days. It was a very nice kit with just a few bubbles that needed to be filled.  It came in 4 parts - the bust itself, two arms and the headstone base.  
I added an artificial eye to the model. I don't know if it was supposed to come with a molded in eye that was ruined by a bubble or what. But I figured it would be easier for me to just buy a set of eyes. I measured the opening and chose a set of 4 mm brown eyes. Here he is --

Thanks for looking. 

Kreature Kid's Ghost Bust

With the Ion Cannon done and the F5-D moving along, I uncovered this little gem in my To Do pile. It's Kreature Kid's Ghost Bust. A fantastic little kit in 4 parts - The head/body, 2 arms and a base that's made up of a tombstone with some groundwork around it. It is cast in a translucent green color. I wanted to keep most of the translucency, but it didn't work out that way. ;) 
The kit is made to look like this half rotten ghoul has thrown a sheet over his head as he comes around the gravestone to scare you.  I didn't think to take any before shots. Here are a few WIPs -
