This is an unusual sculpt, from the talented hands of William Paquet. produced by Gothic Haus
it comes in three parts, a solid resin tombstone, the spade, and the figures with base are hollow cast, resin. the casting is flawless, so after washing all the parts in soapy water, it was straight on to the paintjob, the scene which I believe is based on an old EC comics, illustration, depicts, a character who is robbing the grave and digging up the body of a loved one. This guy is obviously a fully fledged bona fide, dyed in the wool fruitcake, so I thought I would give him a colour scheme to emphasise, his wierdness, deckchair striped jacket, polka dot necktie, odd socks etc. I am quite pleased with the way this turned out. The rotting corpse, was base coated lime green, then I applied, various washes of greens, browns, and yellows, before, dry brushing with yellow ochre, and rotten flesh, the tombstone and, base where painted dark brown, then dry brushed with light browns, greens, yellows, and greys. as a finnishing touch, I applied some railway scenics moss to the tombstone. and that was if, a nice if different little kit, which comes highly reccomended Excellent.
