        This  one was a real blast to paint, I had never heard of the Kit, or the movie that the kit is based on, a friend of mine (Keith Cousins) gave it to me, as he thought it was right up my street. as soon as I saw it I loved it, the look of pure evil on the huge head is something to behold, having never seen the Movie, I used an article in AFM MAgazine, for the painting guide, The head is sprayed red, then I used paint brushest to gradually build up the colours, going from Red, through Oranges, finall on to Yellows, using a mix of washes and dry brushing, untill I was happy with the result, the clothing is Hunter green dry brushed grey, with Gold embelisments on the collar and cuffs.
The base, is a Saucer I raided from the Croc cupboard, sprayed Silver, and weathered with Gold Copper and Bronze. an absolute B,Movie classic, Highly reccomended.
