    Tomb of Dracula Diorama

    The Tomb of Dracula. Well in cardboard form.

    I used a Bela Lugosi suit and body as a base and changed out the white bow tie for the black and added the red collar.

    I sent Toyroom a basic sketch of what I had in mind for the box and he came through.

    The head came from on online seller who makes a Tomb of Dracula model kit.

    The coffin came from the dollar store and I added the red satin lining. I put a wedge under it to slant it to see it better.

    To make Drac stand in place I ran armature wire up his pant leg around the crotch and down the other leg. I glued some thick cardboard to the bottom of the insert to help stabilize the the wire which goes underneath to lock him down. It's pretty much invisible.

            Nice work by both of you. A victim like Lonnie mentioned would really complete it.

                          I seriously thought about it but figured it would take away from Drac.
