THE CLUBHOUSE

Edmontosaurus 'bashing continues ... I have puttied/texturized and bulked up the body on both sides, and tonight I built up the left legs - down to just above the shins - I'll do the bottom halves when the upper putty hardens. Then - the right side. I'm really enjoying this stuff! :mrgreen: https://...

Masked for "dramatic effect"

Don't want to scoop myself before posting the finished bust in the Museum. Just an appetizer before the main course..

Said the man who has never seen a box.

You guys all look alike on the CH :) :rolf: :rolf: :rolf: If you haven't seen the Last of Sheila or My Favorite Year do yourself a favor. I just might do that - thanks! :thumb2: Did some research and both Benjamin and his wife are still with us, God Bless them! :D The Peter O'Toole movie - which I ...

Thanks for posting Spock! Very imaginative indeed. You don't know whether to be scared or to laugh, it's so over the top.

anything with Richard Benjamin had to have the entertainment consistency of "fluffy dreck". How that clown ever got a single paycheck in Hollyweird has always escaped me .... :alcoholic: C'mon Spike - Catch-22, Westworld, Last of Sheila (one of my favorite murder/mystery movies), The Suns...

Leather pants lookin real good! Gonna be watching this one!!

Well. You were right about the TWO reasons to watch.

But seriously, anything with Richard Benjamin had to have the entertainment consistency of "fluffy dreck". How that clown ever got a single paycheck in Hollyweird has always escaped me ....

Can’t have enough spikes…Queue Ian in 5, 4, 3, …

Just noticed something - between this one and the Clashing Minotaurs 'bash - shouldn't you be putting in another order for spikes from your source soon?

Spent a quick 30 minutes working on the 'bashed Edmontosaurus this AM ... filling in the gaps with "foundation" putty to strengthen and fill in the "gap areas", so no texturing required yet ... I have decided on a "Big to Small" approach with the ambitious re-sculpt ......

Now ... that looks like the whole creature "got the vibe" from the new head!

I agree that this iteration will be a DEFINITE improvement on what was already an A+ 'bash!!!

This short video from a (Maiden?) concert looks it belongs on this page - anyone see it before???

Joe - I love the sheer DYNAMISM of this 'bash ... re-posing the figures was a CAPITAL idea - including the legs --- the base is amazingly detailed and the little touches like the water splash and moss really "put it over" and into a new level!!! =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> :hot: :hot: :hot: :bow: ...

*FLASH* Big new project started today!!! :drool2: Looked at my big old hollow vinyl PNSO Shantungosaurus ... never happy with the pose ... so as I toyed with re-posing it, I glanced at my favorite Hadrosaur sculpt, the just-released Haolonggood Edmontosaurus . *THEN* - the *LIGHT* went ON!! :alcoho...

Calling the 'bashed "Alamosaurus" DONE!!!! :mrgreen: Did two coats of black oil wash to sink into the details and happy with it - also did "wet" gloss for eyes/nose/mouth/ear holes. Will photograph it once I've painted its (small) base. For now he's posing on the base for the Bi...

Coming along nicely!!!

BRAVO Joe!!! The last photo is my favorite!!!!

Can't wait to see the next one!!!
