Roktman Posted December 13, 2019 Report Posted December 13, 2019 Another excellent sculpt from John Dennett and Moondevil Studios. The 1:5th bust was cast in a light green odorless resin. The kit comes in 2 parts - the bust and the base. After washing with warm soapy water, and giving it a coat of primer I wanted to make Jacob the ghost he was when seen in his scene of A Christmas Carol. I had used Citadel's Nihilakh Oxide on the Ghost Lighthouse Keeper and decided Jacob needed the same treatment. But first he needed his earthly colors. As this movie (1952 film) was in B&W, I was free to use whatever I want. So I decided on a white shirt, black jacket, and maroon tie, pale flesh and auburn hair. Ol' Ebenezer looking on favorably From there I started his ghostly change - The purple is masking fluid to protect painted eyes I went back and forth with Jacob adding and subtracting the green and white, until I got a look I liked. The base was painted, and I added a little snow. Done. Thanks for looking. 1

ClareWentzel Posted December 15, 2019 Report Posted December 15, 2019 I agree. Great colors. The blending and the shades are perfect. 1

Roktman Posted December 18, 2019 Author Report Posted December 18, 2019 Thanks for the kind words. They were both a fun paint up. Looking fwd to John Dennett releasing Cratchit next X-mas. 😉
Roktman Posted January 10, 2020 Author Report Posted January 10, 2020 Thanks. The Citadel paint for a tarnished copper look really makes a good ghostly color. 😉
VonL Posted January 14, 2020 Report Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Fantastic effects there. I just can't shake the thought that it could'a been the ghost of Bob Marley...different story... Edited January 14, 2020 by VonL 1
