NOCH NOCH, WHO'S THERE? PAUL'S VAMPIRES

Hi Woodsy

As promised, here are the photos I have taken now that I have my own set of the Noch HO (1/87th scale) Vampires. 

They are much clearer than the shot I sent in before, which was an image I found on the internet. These are only about 20 mm tall, and do not have a base so they do not stand up very well. 

That makes photography a little difficult. They could be glued to a small piece of clear plastic card with a drop of UHU or PVA glue, but then they would not fit back into the moulded recesses in their clear plastic box. There are six figures in the set. 

Dracula in his coffin, tastefully lined in red, with a separate lid; the female vampire could be Vampira (Maila Nurmi) from the 1950s or Elvira Mistress of the Dark (the dress seems a little too low-cut to be Morticia Addams); vampire hunter Van Helsing with a crucifix and hammer; 

Dracula biting the neck of a lady in a purple dress (moulded as a single figure); the Count in his red-lined cape, and a lady in a red dress fleeing from her grisly fate. $18 NZ for the set, so rather expensive, but they come fully painted, and ready to terrorise your model railway layout, or haunted castle. 

Great fun.

The castle backdrops are a Lord of the Rings plastic kit, and a cast resin aquarium ornament and a couple of castle models - both in ruins.

Yours Sincerely,
