I got a sweet deal on this kit a while back. $1.99 plus $6.00 for shipping. I couldn't pass that up. It retailed for $19.99 when it came out in 1997 or so.


The parts for the base.



The parts for the Red Skull.



Trimmed out of the trees and checked for fit.


The first stage of construction of the Red Skull, putty and glue. It's not obvious, but the two halves of Red Skull's legs and one of his boots barely fit together. It took quite a bit of putty, glue and some creative technique to achieve a proper fit. Even the "well fit" parts require quite a bit of putty to cover the seams.


The parts for Captain America.



Trimmed out of the trees and checked for fit.


Stage one of construction of Captain America, putty and glue. The fit is better on the Captain America parts than the Red Skull parts, but Cap still required quite a bit of putty to cover the seams.


Drying time. Next step is to putty and glue the parts into two figures. Then I have to decide if I like the positions of the figures as they are placed. I may change the layout a bit before I place them. Once I decide on that, then I paint the base. Painting the figures and then gluing them in place are the last stages.
