Here's my spin. I want to thank Tony who gave me some good assembly and painting hints from his article in AFM when he built the Janus kit (which is my next build). Also a thanks to Fritz at headless hearseman for a superb nameplate.

Very nice build! I love the detailing on the sarcophagus. The cobra and the nameplate look GREAT! Is this a warm up for the Janus kit? Lucky dog. That's on my grail list still! :thumbsup:

MMM - thanks :)

Ignatz, yes, I thought this would be a perfect lead in to my Janus kit.

Sean, I think what makes the cobra look good is that I used a Polytranspar Wet Look Laquer that I bought from one of the online taxidermy supply houses. I first used it on my Creature kit and thought it looked so well that I'm very happy that I remembered I had it when it came time to seal the cobra.

Rob, I used Freak Flex Rose Red for his skin, dulcote, some blue, red, green, and purple pastels on the face (I'm still learning how to apply pastels), dulcote, then lightly misted over with a wash of FF Banchee Shadowed Grey and FF Bleached Bone Tan. That gave the flesh area an effect of being covered with a light layer of dust.
