Masterbox Medusa

#1 Post by kevtk135 »

Another Medusa to add to my collection was Masterbox's 1/24 scale styrene Medusa.

I built this kit so long ago I have no idea how longs it's been. I was waiting until I finished a little vignette to show it off. Well I finally created the base, so now she's officially finished.

Built according to instructions, I took liberties with the paint job -

The base I made was decidedly simple. Cork for the floor and steps. A plastic cake tier for the column, and a piece of foam for the top framing of the vignette. All of it got a few coast of V's white primer.

The vine was homemade with the longest piece of the hanging basket liner thread I could find, and then I placed some of the seeds that look like leaves for miniatures dioramas, one by one on the vine. They are a tan, but I colored most of them green. but did leave a few as dead for contrast. Some pigments as staining on the ground, and a few resin skulls from Green Stuff World. That's all it took. Thanks for looking.

Great work all the way round. 8) 8) 8)

I've got this kit too. Disappointing the snake/hair looks more like an Indian headdress than like it is on the box art. But it is what it is. They make really good figure kits. I've got most of their historical and fantasy ones (1/24).

You did your usual good job Kev.

Thanks.
Yep the snakes are pretty lame. But for being styrene and the size I wasn’t really expecting much more.
