Now that is really nice, the effects on the wood are just amazing with so much variation in the wood. That is one lovely piece of model building PJ.

Gruesome, but lovely at the same time.

..........I agree !
Your method for reproducing the look of wood is amazing !
No blood on the steel blade is correct as blood tends to corrode steel.
.............if the response from viewers seems to be a bit too concerned with the gruesome aspect of the device............well. it IS almost Halloween................Hmm
I'm not certain what scale that Guillotine happens to be but there must be some Herman or Grandpa Munster figures somewhere that might be close enough to that scale to pose around it to ................er, take the edge off the horror aspect.Whistling

I did read through your other thread asking about the spelling, but I didn't post as I had no idea. Glad the guys were able to help you out.

When I first looked at the pics, I wondered if it could do with some blood on the blade. But then I decided that would ruin it. I think the fact that's its nice and clean, but clearly worn, and that we know what it was used for, makes it more menacing.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Thanks Bish and Greg. I didn't get the figure and basket when I got this kit but wasn't planning on using them anyway. Just found it quite different from the usual models we build. It does look very creepy.

Gruesome, but lovely at the same time.

I'll second that. Smile

This is great, PJ! I also noticed the great woodgrain effects. No idea how you did it but a tip-o-the-hat to you from me for sure. The rope looks great too.

Wonderful work, and thanks for posting this.

Here is my newly completed Polar Lights Guillotine less the basket and figure. It was built OOB and painted with MM wood acrylic for the base coat and burnt umber artists oil paint for the wood tone and graining.

The blade was painted with MM metalizers and rubbed with Rub n Buff for a metallic shine specially along the cutting edge.

The two holes on the board is where a rope would loop over and secure the victim to restrict movement.

Basket platform where the head dropped into a large basket.
