X-Plus Styrene Cyclops Kit
Well, here's my take on this baby.
Tim Casey built this one up and I acquired it from him last week. Thanks Tim!
It was a great build-up, but the colors were a little flat for my taste, so I repainted it (partly) as follows:
Cage and man & skeleton got one brown oil wash to bring out detail;
The base got a brown, then a black oil wash;
The Cyclops upper body got several flesh and orange color oil washes;
The legs got: mixed reddish-brown oil paint, then black oil wash, then some acrylic light reddish-brown dry-brushing, followed by a light black oil wash, then matte sealant.
Now it looks a little brighter up on my shelf (like on the Bluray edition, and as I remember it from the big screen).

Re: X-Plus Styrene Cyclops Kit
Yes, very nice mods BA. You're really running with the oil washes now.
A good example of how far styrene has come in recent years. I think I might have to get me one of those...

Re: X-Plus Styrene Cyclops Kit
This looks great Vlad.
Looks even better with one eye closed.
I like the how the skeleton is shown hanging from a rope; no doubt the poor fella decided hanging himself was preferable to being ripped apart and eaten.
