| This is one of several great kits I picked up from, Ed, Bowkely of Diceman Creations, when I was at Wonderfest, Ed, is another of the Great people I met when I was over there Going out of his way to make me feel welcome, and making sure I got all the stuff I wanted. this company, seems to have a knack of spotting the unusual, and producing, kits, that maybe some others wouldnt try, This piece being a case in point expertly Sculpted, by Ed, White, this rendition of Charles laughton, in the Hunchback of Notre Dame, really captures, the loneliness, and sadness that the actor brought to this part, the facial expression and pose are absolutely spot on, and full credit must go to the sculptor you can almost feel Quasimodos pain, knowing he will never get the girl of his dreams, the base also compliments the figure perfectly, I can just imagine, Quasi, sitting high up in the belfry, I added the Stained glass window effect, and leading myself, just to finish off, what I consider to be one of my favourite kits, this whole package comes, very highly reccomended, now on to the paint scheme, this kit was entirely hand brushed, The base is black, drybrushed with greys and browns, the window effect was achieved, by printing an image onto an overhead transparencie. Flesh, is Cittadell, Elf flesh, shaded with pastels, clothes, are various, browns and greens, with a bit of orange, to brigthen up his fools cap, Click here to go to Dicemans site, and check out the other great stuff he has on offer, I know you wont be dissapointed.
