unclescott58 Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) The one thing Moebuis forgot to give with this kit is a nameplate. They've got a blank slab in front of the Reaper for one. Here is where the aftermarket steps in. I believe I picked this up from Monsters In Motion? It was pretty reasonably price. About $6.00. It is made of resin. And I think finishes off the kit quite nicely. Edited March 22, 2018 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Good job! And that nameplate really does finish it off nicely. I have that Grim Reaper kit on my buy list. Back in the 1970s, a very talented modeler scratch-built a similar figure. IIRC, he started with a skeleton from a "Pirates of the Caribbean" kit (of all things). He dressed Mr. Bones in black tissue paper stiffened with white glue (an old-school modeling trick). He also scratch-built a scythe for the figure to hold. He made up a nameplate saying "Black Plague - Europe, 14th Century." For a long time it was in the window of a hobby shop in Orange County, CA. Wish I could remember that guy's name. His work was often featured in the "Scale Modeler" and "Military Modeler" magazines. When I moved from the West to East Coast a few years ago, I threw out a lot of my old magazines. Which I'm regretting now, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim N Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Great job Scott. I guess the 1939 Ford is dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Today I got the following for when Death Takes a Holiday. Despite his inability to show it, the Grim Reaper is really quite excited. It works out well that both kits are in 1/8th scale.

I got the same kit the figure was hard to get took me three months to get it. This is going to be my mascot for my hobby room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
