THE CLUBHOUSE

Finally got around to working on the Box Art version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame from Pestilence Labs. Always was one of my most favorite of the Aurora kits back in the day.

I finished this approx. 1/4 scale kit from Shadow Kreations a few months ago. I did a couple of modifications to it...

I have wanted to paint a Shiflett Brothers sculpt for some time and when I saw their latest Creature come available I was definitely interested. As I started work on this I kept thinking this would be a great subject to add some water effects to the base! Certainly a beautiful sculpt and a lot of fu...

Here's my rendition of the Glenn Strange "Frankenstein" bust from Earthbound Studios. Another fantastic sculpt from Jeff Yagher! Finished this several weeks ago and finally got him photographed. - Denis https://i.postimg.cc/s12RBKTc/GS-Frank-1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/rzY25WbL/GS-Frank-2.j...
