Three Horizon, 1/6 Scale Marvel Heroes Once again I am indebted, to Keith Cousins, for letting me have these Marvelous Vynil kits, I love painting the Horizon comic Figures, Like the Aurora Monsters they Bring back Childhood memories of me reading and collecting these Comics, neither of these, kits suffered the usual Vynil problems, and where glued together in no time, needing very little putty, which was a pleasant surprise, I decided, to try my hand at sculpting, some torn clothing on to the Hulk, its no where near perfect, but I quite like the results, I was almost tempted, to build elaborate bases, for these, but decided against it, as I didnt want to detract from the figures. The Paint was aplied using my usual mix of Airbrushing and hand brushing, These original Horizon kits are still available in limited Numbers, so try and track them down if you can, just beware of Numerous re-casts out there.
