I've had this kit
sitting on my shelf gathering dust for quite a few years. I
picked this kit up from Forbidden Planet in New Oxford St,
London. This is a fairly early lit from Killer's, the
figure was cast in what I believe is the Smooth-On brand of
resin, and the quality of the casting was very good.
I had primed and started to paint the figure a number of
years ago, but left it for some reason or other that I cant
remember. I dusted the figure down and started to re-paint
the face & hands. After creating my flesh tone
base, I lightened it and then painted the highlights, next I
stippled some black paint with an old brush to add some 5
O'clock shadow. This was then followed with a wash of Burt
Sienna to add a blush and also blend the different tones of the
flesh
The hair was painted dark grey with a few streaks of white at
the temples. Black paint was then dry-brushed over the top
to creat some depth. The tatoo was painted in using a mix
of navy blue with added flesh base, this was then
given a wash of Burnt Sienna. The suit was painted black
and then dark grey was dry-brushed over the top.
I chose to discard the base included with the model, this
was a rectangular piece of resin with the title of the
movie in raised lettering. Instead I used the base from a
model of Salma Hayek which I had purchased blind from the Star
Wars Emporium. I had discarded the figure as this was an
existing kit (Red Sonja) with a bikini and head-dress sculpted
over the top. The base was painted, dry brushed and then
given a wash of dark brown
