cambridge 450 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 this is an odd one, but i'm willing to give it a try. I've found this on the chinese ebay and considering how cheap it was ( around 10 € ) i wanted to give it a try. It's kinda more a toy than a model but i figured it out it could become a nice frame to work with and with a little bit of love and some milliput something interesting might came out of it. This is how it looks when assembled: this is how it looks when it's disassembled 4 Link to post Share on other sites
cambridge 450 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 So, this is how it actually looks: all the parts are made out of rubber, and when unpainted are of a plain creamy color. The snaps are not that good and you need to sand them in order to fit properly but being made of rubber sanding them is not a really clean job. Ribs are all bent, and i'm probably going to cut them and redo them using milliput and metal wire. i'll start with the skull. Removing all seam lines with a dremel. The teeth are out of proportion and since sending them down would not produce a good result i'll just cut them off and use green stuff to replace them. 11 Link to post Share on other sites
2lefthands 10 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Looking very good so far! You could try to stipple some areas with some solvent and an old brush to get more "bone" feeling out of it? Crap: rubber and solvent....sorry Edited November 30, 2020 by 2lefthands Link to post Share on other sites
spruecutter96 1,087 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 For less than 10 euros, that looks like excellent value-for-money. Does that price include the delivery charge? Chris. Link to post Share on other sites
