Another great old kit brought back to life by Polar
Lights. I always thought that this model doesn't look much like Bela Lugosi, but there are replacement heads
out there that are dead on. I think it's a pretty good likeness of Senator Robert Byrd though. Others say
he bears a strong resemblence to George Wallace.
"But the Count! Never did I imagine
such wrath and fury, even to the demons of the pit. His eyes were positively blazing. The red light in them was
lurid, as if the flames of hell-fire blazed behind them. His face was deathly pale ... and then I saw something
which filled my very soul with horror ... the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood."
Dracula, by Bram Stoker - 1897
And finaly, here's a look at the kit I built as a kid.
As you can see, a few pieces have gotten lost over the years. I was between 7 and 10 years old when I did this
one. I really don't remember much about putting this one together other than that I thought the front sections of the
cape hid too much so I left them off.

Thanks for looking!
