Daimos Frankenstein vs Baragon kit

#1 Post by Jon LeGrand »

Here is one I built for myself, was one on my wishlist and I finally finished it. Produced by Daimos, it is resin and Baragon is 30 cm or 12 inches tall, Franky is about 10 inches. The base was actually a separate kit, and came with 4 name plates, and octopus and Kumi Mizuno. Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahz_PP2_anc
Here are some Photos:

Bravo Jon! Is the octopus the same scale? Did you ever consider extending the base and have it hovering in the background or off to the side, waiting its turn? :rolf:

No, I need shelf space, plus the octopus is not in scale. I plan to display the octopus in a smaller case, and the main kit will be with my other Baragon kits. Thanks!

Very cool kit. I like that it avoids the problem most multi-creature kits have, seeing both the faces at the same time.
This one looks like a great display piece. And of course your paint is top tier.

Excellent work on both large figures all adding up to a super diorama. Toho's was a very sympathetic depiction of Frankenstein, more like a "teenage Frankenstein" version showing his growing pains. Perhaps someday he will cross paths with his lost progeny, the Gargantuas. A family saga. Outstanding!

I was once going to make a diorama with the three and Baragon, I was going to call it Family Feud. :)

Space really is becoming the "final frontier" for us long term modelers. I'm starting to look at the possibilities of those really small (but exquisite) figures from Japan. It's just the fun of carrying out the idea at this point.
