Elvira Mistress of the Dark FINISHED 10-27-14


Recommended Posts

This is my first figure kit. I have been a life long Elvira fan and when I saw this kit listed in Amazing Figure Modeler Magazine I had to have it. Beautiful casting and an excellent likeness of Casandra Peterson.

As with all resin started by cleaning all the parts really well.

Started by painting the skirt Krylon Ultra flat black:

Painted the upper portion and this is some of the masking I did:

Removed the tape and have minor clean up to do:

Thanks everyone she was a really fun project!

Excellent work.

How did you do the stocking? It's most lifelike; the color, sheen and lace pattern-that's really good work.

What materials and methods?

Cato,

I started by priming the leg with Testors White Lacquer primer. Then masked off the top of the leg and sprayed the unmasked portion at around 15 psi with my airbrush. Paint was brown Badger opaque airbrush paint mixed about 50/50 with black. The leg was sprayed from about 12 inches away. Unmasked the leg, added the spider web craft tape and then a strip of lace cut off a bigger piece.

PM me if you have more questions

stunning! Did she come with the base too?

Thanks!!

She did come with a base that looks like cobble stones. I really thought it was plain so I didn't use it. I will be putting her on a different base. what you see in the pics is my mantle with a runner on it
