This head returns him to that palette. Every surface has been repainted by a professional finisher in tones of charcoal and soft black, with a dry-brushed lift on the ridges of the hide so the sculpted texture reads in any light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe head is shown in mid roar, the jaw dropped open on two rows of bone white teeth with longer fangs at the corners. The eyes are glossed so they catch the light beneath a heavy brow, and small ears sit back on the skull. Behind them the neck widens into a column of dorsal plates, each one tipped in paler grey, running down to a broad, flat base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe underside is closed by a black disc with screw fixings and slots, which lets the head stand upright on a shelf. Seen from across a room it has real presence, and up close the paintwork rewards a slow look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Godzilla, head and neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monochrome repaint, charcoal black with grey dry-brushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bone white, open jaw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEyes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDorsal plates:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tipped in pale grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black disc with screw fixings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stands upright on its base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e The head alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood.
