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.

I'm taking a seat too.

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.

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.

I have been busy with life and new toys. Got a resin 3D printer, so been messing with that quite a bit. Im gonna do a post on that separate.

I have gotten quite a bit done on this one. Some more detail things to do, the ax, the sword and it will be done. Have some seams I realized I missed to do also. But nothing awful. And do a little more "weathering". So next post will be it completed.

Oh hey this is coming along beautifully!

If I do them in batches of 8 I need 11 batches for each side. That helps me keep count.
