Greg augmented Action Hobbies’ 1/12 scale resin “The Phantom — The Ghost Who Walks” with some handiwork of his own, including: a gold cup and sword (from Spirit Halloween); an extra skull, “from my box of assorted skulls”; and extra greenery from JTT Scenery Products. Greg says, “The resin pieces were cast with a great deal of detail, so there was very little seam work except the arm and leg attachment areas on both figures. A rubber mold of the wolf’s fur was made to help blend in the front shoulders. All pieces were pinned and glued with 5-minute epoxy, and seams were finished with Aves Apoxie Sculpt.” He finished with Testors Model Master enamels and Tamiya, Ceramcoat, and Citadel acrylics; pastel chalks and dry tempera powdered paints produced weathering and highlighting.
