Munsters Living Room Nameplate

#1 Post by BobbysMonsterModels »

Hey all,

Just wanted to share. Tim Fortuna made me a real nice Munsters Living Room nameplate awhile back and I just got around to painting it and mounting it to my kit. I built and painted this model back in 2006. I always felt it needed a nameplate. I mentioned this to Tim and gave him the size. He angled the nameplate so it sits real nice on the model. I drilled a small hole in the bottom of the nameplate, epoxied a small styrene rod into it, let it dry, snipped it off at the length I needed and sanded it a bit. I then drilled a hole into the floor of the model and glued the nameplate into it nice and solid.

Thanks Tim! It turned out great. I used neon green enamel:

That looks perfect. Don’t know why they left off a nameplate for this kit. It’s what it needed. Looks complete now.
