Hi folks,
Here's my take on the wonderful Monarch kit, beautifully sculpted by Jeff Yagher.
I added a little more hair around his ears and changed the keys for a lantern.
I always wanted to make the base a little more enclosed and moody, so had a pop at
adding a back wall and door. Looks nice in B&W!

That looks better than the original kit, which was pretty amazing anyway! Great job!

I really liked the original kit, but this is so much better. Well designed and executed. Love it!.

Sensational! Crisp, clean paint-up with excellent detailing. Gorgeous colour palette and superb shading and highlighting. Amazing base.

Bravo on the paint apps. Great use of contrast. Love the brown, purple and gray.
