Standard figure with original battery powered illumination from below plinth.

Figure immediately after disassembly, priming, painting with rattle-can gold and reassembly. I picked out the script and border of the plaque and the figures eyes with silver marker pen. The eyes looked really creepy until I added black pupils.

Figure with new mains-powered led light strip positioned on (rather than below) plinth.

These last three pictures show how the shiny paint finish has dulled over time. From left...

Album info
Not really a kit so I was surprised to find it on Scalemates. I bought this from ebay in 2018. It comes pre-assembled in beige resin, on a black base containing a battery holder and two torch bulbs located below a couple of holes. In 2020 I decided to paint it and improve the lighting. Although I took the figure apart and used a primer the nice shiny metallic gold finish has tarnished over time.
