Thanks so much for the pictures..
I was wondering did anybody make any announcement buying Mikes , molds
at the show.? Mike had a very large collection of models he made some I never seen..?
Somebody did last summer? but nothing happened?
I would love to see most of his works for sale again..

Thanks Steve.

Love the Pumpkinhead dio - and that's only the second Pred/SouthPark build I've ever seen.

Nice.

The man had a talent that's for sure.

Was really a great display in person - hard to take it all in. I went back a few times to try to see anything I missed.

Pretty sure those were Mike's builds.
I know I saw Danya carrying a bunch of it out at the end of the day Sunday.

Yeah. Me too.
Every time I came at it from a different angle, I saw more things I missed before.

I may have misunderstood what you fellas meant - but one of the pics Steve posted indicated Dave Kinney did (at least some of) the builds ?!?! . . .

Mike also sculpted the BASE (for my cool Cipriano Cyclops)..I bought it from him at Wondefest too.
We talked about guitars and our love for Harryhausen. Also photos from my Wonderfest 1996 trip
