This bit of resin mayhem is a little kit called "The Change"....  Sculpted by a gentleman from the UK named Dave Lewis and produced by a good friend of mine, Keith Cousins. The kit depicts the initial transformation scene in the film "An American Werewolf in London" which stars David Naughton who's big claim to fame prior to the movie was as the Dancing guy in all the Dr. Pepper commercials ...

The sculpt is a bit rough, but I like it quite a bit. The actual casting is superb... It's really a nice piece that shows the emotion and pain that the character is going thru...

All the paints are Delta Ceramcoat applied by hand with a good old fashioned paint brush.  The Flesh color is "Medium Flesh", the fur is "Dark Burnt Umber" highlighted with "Burnt Umber". The base is
painted  "Mudstone" with the name plate painted "Burnt Sienna" and the lettering done in "black"...

I laid down three layers of light blue pastel for the veins in the legs, and three layers of a burnt sienna for the shading on the flesh.  Each layer of pastel was sealed with dull cote before moving on to the
next.  "Ivory" was used for teeth and for the nails, but a touch of Dark Burnt umber was mixed in for the nails.  Both the teeth and nails were lightly washed with a Dark burnt Umber wash.

It was a fun kit to work on and really looks great after a little paint and some pastel work... I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent on this and I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out...
