I
didn’t like the outstretched arms which is how you normally
see this kit.
My first attempt was to use the arms from the PL Frankenstein
Flivver kit,
but after acquiring the kit I realised they could not be used.
The Flivver arms are deformed and didn’t look right with this
kit,
back to the drawing board then!
After
playing around with the original arms I found a position which I
felt
okay with, this did however mean a little cutting away where the
arms met
the shoulders. A bit of grinding with my Dremmel, and a bit of
filling with
Milliput soon had the arms in a better pose.
Next
I wanted him to be walking straight or even.
The kit originally has him stepping off a grave with one foot
slightly higher.
To rectify this I simply extended the leading boot/foot with
Milliput
to give the required position.
Finally
the last thing that bugged me with this kit was the moulded rope
around his waist…..it had to go, so I again Dremmeled it off
and filled
the area flat. I then added a piece of twisted twine which had a
more
realistic look. The base is one of my simple ones, Plaster of
Paris
spread thin and the stones cut in when semi dry. |
