Building and Painting the 1/6 FRANKENSTEIN Horizon Vinyl Kit

In this (lengthy) video, I show you how I paint up a GIANT Frankenstein kit. This video has a heavy focus on working with oil paint to create deep, detailed skin tones. Enjoy the spooky music, and check us out on instagram!

Great tutorial video! love the choice of skin tone you chose to go with on this model! I also always preferred Frankenstein's Monster to have a pale gray yellowish skin like decaying flesh rather than green.

Awesome work 👍

[@markhunt3266]

Excellent work 👏

[@MrPleers]

Glad to see you didn't went for a more greener colour. He was supposed to be a corpse pale greyish colour in the movie. The greenish,blue makeup was added on Boris Karloff to get that effect when filmed in black and white.

[@stuarthanna2417]

These were nice kits. My Black Lagoon Creature is one of those.

[@scifimodelsandstuff3211]

Yea, their creature was really excellent. Never got ahold of the Wolfman and Mummy they did

Ace mate 😉👌

[@anjkovo2138]

Fantastic👍😊👍

[@Adrianelpaso76]

That's badass

[@presto709]

Really great job. I wish you spent more time on the glamour shouts. You only give a quick look at the finished model and KZbin throws up video ssuggestions which obscures the shots.

I have one of these on order and plan to use a Hot toys style Body to make a poseable figure. What kinds of paints do you use, Oil or Acrylic based?

[@scifimodelsandstuff3211]

Cool idea! This is a mix of acrylics and oils; acrylics for any large areas and for the base coat, and then oils on top for shading and color modulation. Hope it helps!

[@GESSO217]

@@scifimodelsandstuff3211 Thanks for the info. I don't have the steady hands to do serious detail work but I think it'll turn out okay.

[@PigmanAFM]

Can I suggest Durham's Water putty in stead of plaster? Plaster can produce mold white Durham's will not.

[@scifimodelsandstuff3211]

For sure. I've heard a lot of good stuff about Durham's but have yet to try it. I hear that it also gets harder than plaster, which is helpful.

[@steveminla]

Never heard of that stuff before to be used like this (fill in a hollow model figure) but, after looking into it, seems legit! Thanks for the tip!

[@georgemartinez1720]

Do you make your own sculpting tools

[@jackjufer9776]

i like your build, what king of glue did you use?

[@scifimodelsandstuff3211]

In this case I think it was zap a gap super glue. Really good stuff.

[@F-Los]

What glue do you recommend?

[@scifimodelsandstuff3211]

For vinyl I use Zap a Gap super glue

[@imnotvintageimgrumpy586]

No primer? You used the oils directly over the acrylic without sealing the acrylic first?

[@scifimodelsandstuff3211]

The vinyl was primed prior to the acrylic paint, yes. And yes, I often use oils directly over acrylics. I use a very mild artist-grade white spirit, which isn't strong enough to affect an alcohol-based acrylic coat. Probably not the BEST practice, but 99 times out of 100 I haven't had issues.

[@georgemartinez1720]

What Brand of Paint and brushes you use

[@scifimodelsandstuff3211]

I use a lot of tamiya paint, but it depends. No one brand does it all. Same with brushes, though I'm a big fan of Windsor and newton brand

Please consider rereleasing your video without background music. This is the type of content i like to watch to decompress after a long day of work

[@Larry-j2y]

They're not neck bolts they're Electrodes. He is charged by lightning electricity.

[@vincentmannelli2258]

Nice! How gross is that! LOL!
