Welcome, mates! @Mr D Those holes I opened and then filled are auxiliary air doors that seems to be open always when the plane is on the ground.

Kyle DeHart

OK. Well I decided since I was bogged down in my other builds, Id go ahead and do this one.

Frank Frazetta has always been a favorite of mine. I fell in love with his stuff seeing the covers of Conan paperbacks. Then in 78 the first Molly Hatchet album came out with this as its cover. I bought that album based SOLELY on that cover as it was their first and I hadnt heard them yet. LOL Luckily they were a great band. LOL

There is a Frazetta museum here in Stroudsburg PA, about 3 hours from my house. Im planning on taking this there and taking pics of it there. IF it comes out worth a damn.

OK, so, its a relatively simple build. BUT, as you can see, while the fit is OK, it has serious seems. *sigh* Its gonna require a little more work than I was hoping for.

I am not attaching the arms or head to the rider yet, nor the cloak. Those will be painted then attached to make it easier. The things like reigns are separate pieces that will get painted then all put together.

Next session is getting those seams done.

Why not. Frank inspired me as a kid to learn how to paint and draw.

After way more work on the seams than should have been necessary, initial flat black coat on. I sprayed the head after the pic. Also the base in dark earth as a base for that.

Frazettas Death Dealer is really cool, I have the kit too. But bringing his style into color on a three-dimensional model is not easy.

Donald Dickson II
Yeah, the painting is going to be a challenge for sure

Erik
You can do it! 😎
Roman tried to realize him in 28mm.

Thank you Erik. 🙂

Started with some of the easier detail painting. Still working out how to shade the horse.
