This is a huge ‘lump’ of resin (if you haven’t got one) and with the added wooden base is a fair old weight. I added the wooden base to protect the kit base from knocks.
I’ve gone slightly off-piste with the Demon’s uniform and added piping around the epaulettes, and painted the back of the collar in a dark green (I think German uniforms had this). This step was pure artistic license on my part.
I decided to finish the blade in Alclad chrome to give it that highly polished finished – as a note here, although ‘stating the bleeding obvious’, do remember to attach the blade the right way so it is touching David’s throat, especially if assembling the hand and knife beforehand. I did, but I remember years ago on a military figure I attached the handle of the sword the wrong way.
As a final touch I added two London Underground lapel pins to either side of the kit base as the texture appears to be very reminiscent of tiling on the London Underground system (not sure if this was designed with that in mind). I could have used Tottenham Court Road station signs (if available) as I believe the Tube scene was filmed at this station on the Northern Line section.
Anyhow, thoroughly enjoyable double-bust project and well done to Team Typhon, Mike and Brian.
