Roktman Posted August 12, 2018 Report Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Yet another kit that has been sitting, waiting for paint for a while now. It's Lon Chaney Sr., as the Phantom of the Opera. This is a four part kit - the bust and 3 pieces for the base. Silent Screen Icons also included sheets of miniature music to add to the base. Diving right in, things start with some research and I found that Lon Chaney Sr. had both brown hair and eyes. Being that the film was in B&W, I'm free to paint the figure whatever I wanted, so I used the typical dark suit, ivory shirt, and the reddish tie. Base was painted like a dark dank sewer walls. The sheet music was provided and all I did was give it a wash with Citadel sepia. Thanks for looking. Edited August 12, 2018 by Roktman
dmorrissette Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 Excellent. I love Saul's kits. I have them all except for the new one he announced for Jerseyfest Dave 1

But I'm on a mission to finish one of FPs Avatar helicopters that I was told is a real dog and stopped another modeler in his tracks. (The model does remind me of one I would have gotten in the early 90s). 😯
Highlander Posted August 18, 2018 Report Posted August 18, 2018 I'm not much for the garage kit genre, but you have done a remarkable job with this. Kudos. 1
