I finally got around to build this 1/8 scale kit from MMR hobbies of the Octaman, I saw this movie years ago and saw it for sale so I bought this turkey it's so bad my dog left the room shortly after my wife did ......anyhoo the kit is resin and assembled as any other resin model pinning the arms using Apoxie sculpt to fill in any gaps. using acrylic paints I decided to use artistic license to bring more character to the bland creature as in the movie. adding Pledge floor finish to give it that wet look and some seaweed to finish the creature. the base was covered with Elmer's white glue and water then yellow Hermit Crab sand was sprinkled on the base, after that dried a fine mist spray of white glue and water was used to secure the sand, the small octopus was also coated with Pledge. I saw this model showcased on the web from Monster Model Review after seeing this model I decided to get one and it was a fun build.unlike the movie my wife likes the model, no reaction from the dog LOL. comments welcome.
