iM Frankenstein--INTERMEZZO: Detailing the Skulls

Even if I had decided to do this kit straight OOB, there is one enhancement I would make: detailing the skulls on "the monster's" girdle. Or, more accurately, add the suspension wires/cords to the top skull, especially as the suspension of the lower skull was provided!

And that is now done! Using .015" lead/tin solder as wire, I reproduced the design as in the 3D rendition. . . the ENTIRE design! While the lower skull's "wiring" was cast en suite, it would have been little more than trompe-l'œil once painted. So. . . in for a penny, in for a pound!

Check back soon: I will add an image of the reworked skull girdle as soon as I am able. . .

Back to the bench!
