THIS IS ONE GREAT NEW KIT DONE BY STEVE "CULTMAN" UNDER THE NAME CREATURE ARTS. THIS IS THEIR FIRST OFFERING , AND A VERY GOOD CHOICE IT WAS. THE FLY HAS BEEN DONE BY A FEW COMPANIES IN THE PAST, I REALLY LIKE THIS KIT AND BELIEVE IT CAPTURES THE CHARACTER IN ALL IT'S FURY AND ALSO VERY MUCH IN THE STYLE AND SCALE OF AN AURORA KIT

. AN ALL RESIN KIT AND VERY CLEAN WITH MINOR SANDING AND PUTTYING NEEDED. IF YOUR A FAN OF THE MOVIE AND WOULD LIKE TO ADD THIS BEAUTY TO YOUR COLLECTION, CONTACT STEVE AT HIS AWESOME SITE AND TELL HIM MODELMAN5 SENT YOU.

THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT A STEP BY STEP PROCESS OF A KIT BEING BUILT, SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME. ALL PAINTS USED WERE FREAK FLEX UNLESS NOTED. ALL PAINTING IS DONE BY HAND AND NO AIRBRUSH WAS USED. WITH THAT SAID, LET'S LOOK AT CREATURE ARTS "THE FLY" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LETS TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THE PIECES.

HERE'S A SHOT OF THE FLY ASSEMBLED AND WAITING PUTTY AND SANDING

A SHOT OF OUR FELLOW PUTTIED AND PRIMED FOR PAINTING.

HERE'S A SHOT OF THE ACCESORIES

I STARTED OUT THE FLY WITH A BASECOAT OF BLACK ON HIS HEAD AND HAND.

I THEN PROCEDED WITH A DRYBRUSHING OF GREEN, I THEN PAINTED HIS EYES GOLD. HIS JACKET WAS BASECOATED WITH CURSED EARTH AND DRYBRUSHED WITH BLEACHED BONE TAN.

I THEN BASECOATED HIS SHIRT IN NEAR BLACK, AND FOLLOWED WITH MUMMIFIED BROWN FOR HIS PANTS. HIS SHOES WERE BASE COATED WITH BLACK, AND PALE FLESH WAS USED FOR HIS GOOD HAND.

I THEN CAME IN WITH WHITE FOR A LIGHT DRYBRUSHING ON HIS SHIRT. HIS PANTS WERE DRYBRUSHED USING HORIZON'S CARMEL BROWN. HIS SHOES WAS ALSO DRYBRUSHED WITH CARMEL BROWN FOR A MUDDY LOOK. I GAVE THE AXE A WASH OF MOSSY MOOR BROWN AND USED ALUMINUM FOR THE AXE BLADE.

I THEN USED A WASH OF THE MOSSY MOOR BROWN TO BRING OUT THE DEATAIL IN HIS LAB COAT.

I NOW MOVE TO THE BASE ITSELF. I DID A COMPLETE WASH OF THE BASE IN MOSSY MOOR BROWN. AND FOLLOWED WITH A LIGHT DRYBRUSHING USING GARGOYLE GREY.

FOR THE MACHINE, I STARTED WITH A BASE COAT OF BLACK.

I THEN DID SOME HEAVY DRYBRUSHING USING ALUMINUM AND PAINTED THE TRIM AROUND IT WITH NEAR BLACK. I THEN ADDED THE DECALS AND PAINTED THE BUTTONS USING HOT AS HELL ORANGE, SUNBURN RED, AND ALSO BEWITCHED BLUE.

I THEN STAINED THE BASE WITH A WALNUT STAIN AND ATTACHED THE BASE TO IT.

A THEN PAINTED THE FLY NAME USING BEWITCHED BLUE AND THE DRIPS WERE DONE USING GOT IL GREEN. ALL THAT WAS LEFT NOW WAS TO PIN OUR FLY AND THE MACHINE TO THE BASE. I USED A SPRING TO CUT OUT HIS ANTENAS, AND GLOSS COATED HIS EYES.THEN IT WAS TIME TO GLUE THE NAME TAG TO THE BASE. THE WHOLE KIT WAS GIVEN THREE COATES OF DULLCOATE AND BELOW IS MY FINISHED KIT OF.
