Looks good to me. The only thing I would change would be the shirt color to give him more contrast. Other than that he came out very nice.

That depends on whether or not you're attempting to replicate the Monster's on-screen appearance. In both Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, the Monster's shirt was the same color/shade/hue as the suit jacket and pants. Of course, if you're attempting a custom or idealized paint-up, almost anything goes.

Nice build-up Snoodles! Since you asked, the only thing I can see that you missed are the Monster's darkened fingertips (the entire tip of each finger and thumb, not just painted fingernails). When Jack Pierce was designing the makeup he reasoned the Monster would be comprised primarily from the cadavers of executed criminals (executed by hanging, specifically) and he painted Karloff's fingertips with black shoe polish to represent de-oxygenized blood trapped in the Monster's extremities (this is also Pierce's explanation for the Monster's elongated arms and oversized feet). Aside from that, strong work! Aurora's Frankenstein kit has always been one of my favorites, and yours looks great!

See, this is why I'm so hesitant to begin kits - you always learn something new that will improve your build (like the finger business discussed by Z_61)!
I think he looks "Frankin'" great!

Thanks for posting.
