This is a resin kit that I got off e-bay. It’s a nice sculpt, but had numerous air holes that needed to be filled. The kit originally came with a brick base, but it didn’t seem to work well with the model. Instead I made a new base for the kit from Magic-Sculpt. This was then covered with thinned white glue and real dirt.

The entire kit was painted with acrylic paints. The kit itself was an exercise in dry brushing. After a dark gray base coat I alternated various layers of grays and brown dry brushing. A dark wash was then applied to give texture to the recesses of the fur. A final ivory colored dry brushing finished it off.

The eyes were painted metallic gray and then coated with a layer of clear red. After a flat clear coat, the eyes, teeth, and lips were covered with a gloss coat.
