My Dark Horse Frankenstein's monster

#1 Post by Grahame »

Hi all,

Just a few pics of my 'refreshed' Frankenstein's monster from Dark Horse. I got this kit (#387) in 1995 & finished it in 1996 (yikes, that seems ages ago!), since then he's been moved around a lot including the trip from the UK to Greece, & for a while was in need of a bit of repair - at some point his head fell off & his ear was damaged, & he picked up a few scratches. So in true Frankenstein style I gave him a new ear (Green Stuff filler), this face had a makeover, & the damaged paint was touched up. Now he has pride of place in my cabinet again 8)
