Newmanoid Models, Moonsinger, Airbrushed with acrylics, and artists inks, dry brushed with acrylics, shading, with artists Oils, This is a long out of production, limited edition solid resin, kit, sculpted by Mark Newman from Australia, I have wanted this kit since I first saw it on the cover of AFM magazine, years ago, but it had already sold out by the time I became aware of it. I have seen several, thai re-casts come up for sale on ebay, some for as little as $50.00, but was never tempted I finally came across this original for sale on ebay, it cost me close on $250.00 including shipping, and it was worth every single penny, this huge beast has to be seen to be believed, the sculpting and casting are superb, and the subject just speaks for itself. For the paint job, I first airbrushed, the human areas, with Tamya flat flesh, then sprayed all the fur, with Sepia artists inks, when dry, I sprayed the flesh hi-lights, with a light flesh ink, I the hit parts of the fur, with burnt sienna ink, to give the fur, some contrast, the shading on the flesh was done by blending artists oils, the fur was then dry brushed first with coffee then sand and finally ash grey over the hi-lights, the tree trunk, got exactly the same treatment as the fur, but I also dry brushed first hunter green then leaf green finally ash grey for the moss, the eyes and fangs where painted as most of my kits, have been, im my opinion one of the finest resin kits ever produced, well worth looking for and paying for an original dont buy Thai
