THE CLUBHOUSE

Colorful and goes under the category of "Making the Mostest Bestest of What You Got!" :thumb2: :mrgreen: Love it! P.S. I swear with that Santa Cap on it ... it made me think of the "Wicked Witch" on Oz after she had melted away! :rolf: =D> =D> =D> I was thinking it looked like a...

I didn't where else to stick this. There are a number of videos like this but I was impressed how good the models looked (especially compared to the CGI version which is really dated for this particular episode and looks awful-especially the planet killer). It must have been difficult to photograph ...

Here's my christmas tree.

I know it doesn't have much shape but it has a lot of spirit.

The book is a big favourite. I re-read a few years ago. Every movie version I can think of fails to balance the characters like the book. Victor is not the villain. The creature is not the villain. The story is about the need for compassionate relationships and the tragedy that results from the abse...

It would be tragedy if they were indeed blown to atoms after all that work and skill to make them!


Don't pull that lever.

I love the base details with the hay weeds -reminds me of the movie location with the grassy field.

Belated thanks.

Thanks. The camera worked great. For the last few years the camera phone would not transfer colours right to the PC but it did in this case (maybe due to an update). I have no plans for new sculptures at present but I want to do a long video of stuff I have done since the Omega Men ones. I also need...

This is what I have been working on for a while. The eyes took a lot of redoing. This is her circa 1950s so she is not as thin in the face as she was for the Haunted Palace. The blonde hair--I don't think it flatters but since she had that colour when she had that particular hairstyle I decided to d...

Thanks. These were two of the last clay-made heads I was satisfied with (I did Vincent Price after them but wasn't happy with the scale of those until I redid them in digital). Recently I got enthusiastic "like" icons for the Brother Zachary statue from a Kilpatrick on my Facebook page. Gi...

I didn't see the original film until 1990 (unaware that I had seen clips of it in Trilogy of Terror's drive-in scene). I saw pictures from it as early as 1976 but it was a mystery to me. The Night Strangler showed on tv a lot but I don't remember the original film appearing. I had to get it on home ...

FYI it takes about 10 coats to get the reflective surface I like.

Thanks.

The Night Stalker tv vampire. Rather popular based on my selling rate for the character. I was asked to do it. I wouldn't have done it except I thought it would be cool to have a Surak so I did that first and the snarling face for the Skorzeny. But it also the name of Chuck Connors character in the ...

I took a Surak head and made some changes

After all the big fuss I just used the Tamiya clear coat. Took 3 coats to get the look I wanted so I have to leave it for 24 hours to be sure it is dry. I am debating whether 4 coats is needed. I don't want to overdo it. It is a little different in reflection but less stressful to apply compared to ...

One thing I learned is you can apply one coating of Tamiya clear coat gloss then you should leave it for 24 hours. So I should find out tomorrow if I can switch to it for the final coating. I applied two coats and that gives me the reflection surface I wanted--but I need to try a third coat to see w...

I am trying one last experiment--to see if I can use Tamiya clear coat for the final layer instead of Gorilla Glue.

I did some more experiments If I had to I could just add Tamiya gloss white paint over the gorilla glue eye and then if it doesn''t have the same seamless reflective surface I can add Tamiya clear coat and it seems to preserve the effect I want with gloss reflection over the surface. If I use Tamiya...

PC Clear doesn't work well--4 minute work time is too short and even though it can get pretty close to a perfect coat it does weird warping that I don't like. I am trying another experiment with Tamiya clear coat but it looks like if Gorilla Glue does yellow I can apply white over it to make it less...
