1992 Dracula is the best Dracula!

I like it very much. Great job on the varying shades of reds, my reds always seem to end up a mess   :-X

This looks great. That red armour look was so striking in the Gary Oldman film and was resurrected (no pun intended) for the more recent Luke Evans one as well. You've certainly done it justice.

Funny enough, I'm reading a historical biography of Vlad Dracula right now. Even by the ruthless standards of the time, he really was one sick puppy.

Really nice figure and fantastically painted. in fact your armour looks way better than the Hollywood version which was IMHO to 'plasticky'

I agree, he was extremely violent but he succeeded in stopping the Turks........I think he believed 'the ends justify the means'.

I guess he would have been a fine husband to Erzhebet Bathori if the time period matched!
