Today I opened up Moebius's "Bride of Frankenstein", glued together the main assemblies, and primed them. There has NEVER been a styrene model like this before. This is the gold medal, Holy Grail, grand-prize-winner of all styrene models in history. I can't say enough about it. The sculpt, the engineering, the packaging (including a mini AFM magazine) blows away anything I've ever seen before.
THEN I scored a Janus resin "Man of a Thousand Faces" model on ebay for a bit over $400. It's already primed, and the crate has already been reinforced so it doesn't warp. It's a good deal of cash, but a lot less than I've seen it go for previously. I can't seem to find a decent buildup of it online, but it's the big 1/6 scale model of Chaney applying fangs to himself and looking in the mirror, surrounded by his makeup kit and three busts (Hunchback, Phantom, London After Midnight). I have a feeling I bought it from someone who visits this board regularly.
AND I'm waiting for a Sassy's Satellite 1/6 scale resin "Cat And The Canary" model in the mail. I'll be building a 'secret passageway" bookshelf for it.
AND I'm waiting for a Geometric "Invasion of the Saucermen" 2-figure model in the mail, for which I'm going to build a diorama.
Then the deluxe "Broadway Dracula" will be arriving, hopefully by the end of summer.
Man, I'm going to be extremely busy/happy over the next few months. And my wife thinks the Janus Chaney model was a steal.
Life is good.
