THESE GUYS ARE  FROM THE HIT SHOW BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. ONE OF THE CREEPIEST EPISODES I'VE EVER SEEN ENTITLED "HUSH"

THIS IS A 1/6 SCALE RESIN KIT INCLUDING BASE FROM MYSTERIA OUT OF ENGLAND.

A MINI REVIEW AND TIPS FOR BUILDING THIS KIT

THE CLEAN UP

THERE IS SOME FLASHING TO DEAL WITH ON THIS KIT.MOST OF IT CAN BE REMOVED USING YOUR HOBBY KNIFE AND SANDPAPER. THE FLASHING ON THE HANDS IS EASY TO REMOVE, I JUST USED MY HOBBY KNIFE AND CUT IT OFF WITH NO PROBLEMS.

BUILDING THE KIT

CONNECTING THE TOP OF THE BODY TO THE LEGS WAS A LITTLE TRICKY. WHAT I DID WAS TO FIND A CENTER POINT BY HOLDING THE TWO HALVES TOGETHER AND CENTER THE LEGS WHILE MAKING SURE TO LEAVE A EVEN AREA WHERE THE TOP HALF OVERHANGS AT THE WAIST ONCE THAT WAS FOUND I DREW LINES USING A PENCIL FROM THE TOP HALF TO THE LOWER HALF WHERE THEY MEET. THEN IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF CONNECTING THE LINES ON BOTH HALFS TO FIND THE CENTER FOR DRILLING AND PINNING. ONCE THE TWO HALFS WERE GLUED TOGETHER, I PUTTIED AROUND THE WHOLE WAIST AREA TO BLEND THE TWO SECTIONS TOGETHER.

WHEN TRYING TO CONNECT THE ARMS TO THE BODY, I COULD NOT GET THEM TO SIT FLUSH WITH ONE ANOTHER. I ENDED UP CUTTING OFF THE MALE END ON THE ARMS AND PINNING THEM TO THE BODY. THIS LEFT A COUPLE PRETTY GOOD SIZE GAPS AT THE TOP WHERE THE ARMS MEET THE BODY. A LTTLE PUTTY AND SANDING BLENDED THE ARMS WITH THE BODY NICELY.

WHEN CONNECTING THE HANDS TO THE ARMS, I WOULD NOT SUGGEST PINNING THEM ON. THE HAND WRIST AREA IS VERY SMALL AND COULD BREAK OR CRACK WHEN DRILLING THEM. I JUST GLUED MINE ON AND THEY LOOK GREAT!! 

THE HEAD WAS PINNED TO THE BODY WHICH LEFT SOME GAP PROBLEMS, AGAIN A LITTLE PUTTY AND SANDING BLENDS THE AREA NICELY.

THE KIT COMES WITH A COOL CLOCK TOWER BASE AND A LONG PIN TO MOUNT THE GENTLEMAN TO HIS BASE. REMEMBER TO DRILL DEEP INTO YOUR KIT AND BASE, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THIS KIT CAN BE A LITTLE TOP HEAVY.

THE PAINTING OF THE KIT

I STARTED OUT BY SPRAYING A BASE/PRIMER COLOR OF BLACK ON THE HEAD,HANDS,THE BODY, AND THE BASE.  I THEN DRYBRUSHED BLEACH BONE TAN OVER THE HEAD AND HANDS, LEAVING THE BLACK AROUND THE EYE AREA HEAVY.

I THEN USED A WASH OF MOSSYMOOR BROWN FOR ALL THE WRINKLES AROUND HIS FACE, HANDS, AND NECK AREA. PINK EYE BURGANY WAS USED ON HIS LIPS AND AROUND THE INNER EYE AREA. A BABY BLUE TYPE COLOR WAS USED FOR HIS PUPILS AND BLEACBONE TAN WAS USED FOR HIS EYE AREA COLOR AND HIS TEETH.

WHITE WAS THEN USED FOR HIS HANKY,SHIRT, AND THE BASE. THE BOX WAS PAINTED BURIED ALIVE BROWN AND THE DESIGN WAS HAND TRACED USING MUMIFFIED BROWN.

SUMMARY

OVERALL AN EXCELLENT KIT. GREAT LIKENESS, WELL SCULPTED AND NICELY CASTED. THIS KIT WILL MAKE A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION AND IS SURE TO SATISFY FANS OF THE GENTLEMAN AND BUFFY FANS ALIKE!!!
