I bought this kit seven years ago from an estate sale of late CH member John Petik. Originally painted in grey-scale I decided to redo it in color and posted about it here: viewtopic.php?t=126306
Produced by Needful Things in cold-cast porcelain, the 1/5 scale figure was sculpted by Terry Norton and the base was sculpted by Steve Riojas.
I don't normally do green-skinned monsters but this time I gave the figure a slightly greenish tint with some spot washes. And it may be difficult to see but he has one green eye and one blue eye because, you know, he's assembled from various body parts....
The photography was challenging because the kit stands about as high as the back drop I use and there's a window directly above, so I couldn't get great shots of the face from below (you'd have seen the light blasting in through the window). I tried lying the kit down but that proved problematic because of the pose. As a result, some of the subtleties in the paint have been lost to the shadows...

*AHEM* Pay attention, Derek.
What you need is ... a TALLER backdrop!!! (Or: Those Persilux blackout blinds have MANY uses!!! )
Epic Sauce Derek, it's a superb build and paint job all round! I sent pics to Terry and he's over the moon to see his sculpt looking so cool and sends you his compliments!

Thank you very much Tim and Paul.
Paul, it's gratifying to hear Terry liked my interpretation
Helena is here at hand;
And the youth, mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover's fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be! -Puck
