KIT # 48886
ANOTHER GREAT ADDITION FOR ALL YOU MARVEL FANS, AND ALSO FANS OF SPIDERMAN. SCULPTED BY THE INCREDIBLY TALENTED SHIFFLET BROTHERS AND IN 1/12 SCALE. MAKES THESE KITS A JOY TO DISPLAY, WHILE SAVING YOU SHELF SPACE.
AS WITH ALL THE TOY BIZ KITS, GET READY WITH PUTTY IN HAND FOR THIS ONE. LABELED AS A LEVEL 1 KIT FOR BEGINNERS, ANY NEW KID OR ADULT ENTERING THE HOBBY WITH THIS ONE WILL HAVE THEIR SHARE OF PROBLEMS. BUT ALSO LIKE ALL THE OTHER TOY BIZ KITS, THESE GEMS SURE LOOK GREAT TO DISPLAY WHEN THEIR DONE.
THIS KIT PRESENTED IT'S SHARE OF GAPS AND ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS, THERE WAS ALSO LOTS OF GAPS ON RHINO THAT NEEDED TO BE PUTTIED ALONG WITH THE USUAL ISSUE OF THE FIGURES NOT LINING UP WITH THE SLOTS ON THE BASE. RHINO'S LEFT FOOT WOULDN'T LINE UP WITH THE HOLE ON THE STEP ON THE BASE. THIS WAS CORRECTED BY CUTTING OFF THE PEG ON THE LEFT FOOT AND GLUING IT DIRECTLY TO THE BASE. I ALSO TOOK A FEW PICS OF THE KIT DURING THE PUTTY STAGES AND BASECOATING.

ALL PAINTS USED WERE FROM BADGER'S AWESOME FREAK FLEX LINE OF PAINTS, AND EVERYTHING WAS PAINTED BY HAND. I STARTED OUT BASE COATING RHINO,THE BASE, THE TOP OF THE MAN HOLE COVER IN BLACK. I THEN BASE COATED RHINO'S FACE ALONG WITH JONAH'S IN PALE FLESH. OUR EDITOR'S SHIRT WAS PAINTED GREEN FOR HIS VEST, AND BLEACHED BONE TAN FOR HIS SHIRT. HIS HAIR WAS PAINTED BLACK WITH HIGHLIGHTS AGAIN USING THE BLEACHED BONE TAN. OUR RHINO WAS THEN DRYBRUSHED WITH GARGOYLE GREY, FOLLOWED BY A DEEPER DRYBRUSHING OF GREY. THE BASE WAS DRYBRUSHED WITH SILVER AND FOLLOWED UP WITH A WASH OF OLDWRECK RUST.
I'D RECOMMEND THIS KIT TO FANS OF RHINO AND WOULD CAUTION ADULTS FOR GIVING THIS KIT TO A YOUNGER CHILD TO BUILD WITHOUT YOUR HELP. AND LIKE I'VE SAID MANY TIMES, THESE KITS LOOK AWESOME ONCE COMPLETED AND DISPLAY WELL IN THE OLD AURORA FASHION.
QUITE A DYNAMIC ACTION SCENE, YOU CAN ALMOST FEEL THE FEAR FROM JONAH!!
