The shoes were painted glossy black (except for the laces and soles that are matt black)
The trausers will have a glossy black stripe

Nice that the jacket and vest are separate.
Make painting easier.

The cape

Decided to use beige / cream on the inside once I intend to depict the model as the movie version

The1931 movie had a purple lining.

Thanks. I've seen it red, purple and beige
These are the pics I used as ref (the same ones I used when I did my 1x1 cape).
Were there several capes with different lining?

Yeah.
Red was used when he did the stage show.
Purple for the movie.

From what I was reading the other day, the screen one was found at a garage sale and aside from the label showing it belonged to Bela they are not sure what it was from.

Actually, if you read the words in the beneath the first image, it says “gray silk lining”. I was able to read it just by enlarging the pic.

But it is well known that it was purple in the first film.

Last details before final assembly
Added some spider webs
Once it doesn't come with the model, I'm also thinking of making the medallion and ribbon. The problem is the size of the medallion - because it's so pointy and small it's a bit difficult to cut (for now it's just an idea…)
