A lot of cleanup and some thinning on the Headless Horseman's cape. There was also a huge brick of a part number that needed ground away.

I'm covered in plastic shavings from the rotary tool.

Working on The Headless Horseman from Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow.

I have all I want cemented together for now (the Horseman isn't actually attached). I typically use a combo of Extra Thin cement and MEK to weld the parts together.

I also have a batch of sprue-goo dissolving down now for some of the gaps. The it'll be two part filler and maybe some putty.

It's a big kit, so it should be fun to and

Final pictures of Count Orlok from

I ordered it from @CultTVman , and I had a lot of fun getting this one finished on time.

You can find a detailed writeup of the build on the Hobby Link International forums here:

HLI is a fairly small, currently evolving, low-key forum of scale model builders ... We're trying to keep out all the nonsense that comes with big social media stuff.

13 days start to finish ... and done 21 hours before the deadline. 😀

Proper pictures will come later, after the camera battery charges, LOL.

Work continues ever onward with Count Orlok from

Shading on the skin and clothes are done. The base has been, well, base coated with craft paint and gloss sealed so I can do some quick washes and weathering.

With any luck, I think I can be done before the deadline (10/28 at noon ET)

I wish the shading on the skin would show easier on camera, but it has always had a problem with lighter colors. May be time for an upgrade ...

Thanks for looking

Base coating Orlok from

I still have to mask and paint the cuffs and collar, but the parts need to bake for a bit.

Colors are mostly , thinned with Airbrush Thinner and Flow Improver, sprayed through my Talon airbrush.

Next up is the base, but that'll mostly be craft paint brushing, washes and dry-brushing. It's the no-fuss part of the build.

Thanks for looking!

Starting work on this for a over at Hobby Link International.

Count Orlok of from Monarch Models. It's supposedly the last run of this kit.

Let's see if I can build and paint it in time.

I've been called a "glacial builder" though ... LOL.

Greetings!

Here's another from a 2020

Elsa Lanchester as the Bride of

A poly-vinyl figure from that's older than me, LOL. It was the first time I painted a large figure / face.

The sculpt isn't great, but I think I made it work well enough with paint.

I used cheap craft paint for the dress and bandages and acrylics for the face and hair.

This poly-vinyl material is a bit of a different animal to work with for sure.

Here's a kit I built back in May, 2021 for a at Hobby Link International.

A 1/144 Boba Fett's Slave 1, or Firespray, or Starship. Whatever you want to call it these days ... I won't judge ...

I painted it with acrylics via airbrush and a LOT of chipping medium.

I also custom designed an board to power some flickering LEDs for the engines.

Bandai kits almost build themselves.

Thanks for looking!
