Bride of Frankenstein (Re-engaged)

#1 Post by Rocketeer »

I started on this model quite a while ago, then stalled at about 95% done, for some reason. But a couple days ago I got out my pastels, and paints, and gold leaf, and she's done. The hoses have magnetic ends so she can be dismantled for transport. I stole the chains idea from another poster here, and added a bunch of footlights that give her quite a creepy look when they're on...

Paint is oils, mostly, with some pastels at the end.

Th colors make me think of Frankenhooker. Outstanding finish. I really like the changes you've made from the standard Universal Bride.

Stunning! Outstanding use of colour and exquisite detailing. The base and stand are impressive.
