AURORA DRACULA MAKE OVER



WOW IT AS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I LAST UPDATED !






iIhad a old tired aurora Dracula kit that i thought needed a make over .So i brought a replacement base from Night Owl models ,and a New Bela lugosi head from Posthumrous .


The kit part that was used from the aurora kit was just the body and hands.




The base included a little piece of wood to detail the window frame,and the head ! well it was fantastic likeness to lugosi.Kit and base was painted in acrylic paint and head and hand were detailed in oil paints,castle ruins was dried brushed to give texture to the stone work .




I added a little bit of a climbing root which was growing on the outside of my mom's house.


which was dried brushed and glued into place.i think these add on custom parts give tired old monster new blood in is veins ,see you next time and keep your brushes clean !
