The Hydra

#1 Post by KathyD »

Finished a few weeks back but not had the opportunity to take pics.

Produced by a UK company MDC and acquired some time ago - I think they've stopped making kits. Whilst their stuff was always good original subjects, the casting wasn't great and there were challenges... the mouths in particular were poor with missing teeth and dodgy lower jaw joins.

I did try to use all the colours of the spectrum using interference colours, doesn't show too well I'm afraid..

Well, regardless of the casting quality, you made it look good.
