The Black Beast of Arrrggghhh

[kevtk135]

In all the years of watching Monty Python & the Holy Grail, I never paid attention to the dialog to know that the monster had a name. Odder still that it's not black. LOL

It's just a 50/50 mix of SS and SS Medium over an aluminum foil armature. The eyes are from MoreZmore. Have no idea what the scale would be. Thanks for looking.

Oh yeah - now you've REALLY got my attention Kev! (* we need a Gumby, and that rabbit! [cast & sold!] *)

That reminds me of a plaster prize you'd win at a state fare!



Carl-

[Otto69]

That's awesome!

[LOBOREX]

Very cool. RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY!!!

[Tim Casey]

That is EXCELLENT!

*PHEW* Glad you didn't have a heart attack painting it!!!

THAT. IS. CLASSIC.

[kevtk135]

Thanks guys! LMAO glad I didn't have "the big one" also. LMAO

Carl: I don't know whats going on with my phone camera. I can't get things to look like how they are. In person this paintup is a lot less "glow in the dark." I'm going to have to break down and get a camera for my models I guess.

OK. Now comes the critique: Why is his top middle tooth missing? It wasn't missing in the film.

hehe

You know what? I was going to say "Oh, yes it was missing..." as I saw this pic, I guess, first. Next to it was a guy showing a tattoo of the Beast with the same tooth missing on his tattoo.


But looking again thats the only pic, and it's not missing in the movie either. Dammitt.
No biggie, I can go back with some Aves and fix that... Thanks for having me take another look.

You should send pictures of this to montypython.com\

[Paintingrod]

That’s cool lots of laughs

[Heavy Metal Spike]

. . . I can go back with some Aves and fix that . . .

It'll be easier for you to fix the sculpt than it will be for the fella to fix the tattoo

[tay666]

Really cool.

There really needs to be a kit of this subject available.
(I know someone did one long ago, but they don't turn up very often)

[bucketfoot-al]

Glad I could be of assistance .... now back to the workshop and get us some new, improved pictures!!

[overspray]

Can't get enough of Monty Python. Wish the wife felt the same (sigh).

Great job on this - really enjoyed it.

Haha Oh man, when he finds out he's really gonna be pissed.
Me? except for a little paint he's fixed.



I don't remember seeing a lot of Monty Python stuff. I guess maybe the topic is too old for GK models? (shrug) But IMHO the Holy Grail alone could supply quite a few figures.

Overspray: I'm the same can't get enuff. And with my Dad from Ireland - close enuff to England to have that dry, smart assed, sarcastic wit- I enjoyed the show and movies very much.

Nice (and fast!) fix Kev.

Too old my ass! - there are DOZENS of characters from the movies AND TV show I'd LOVE to get - especially as smaller scale (and therefore cheaper) busts.

That rabbit would be top of my list - we have a large white rabbit we've nicknamed "destructobunny" because of the mischief she gets up to and the damage she causes.

I'd love a few optional add-on heads and/or skulls (done in a cartoony style) at the foot of the base - Predator, Alien, Wolverine, Arnie . . . . the list could go on. I'll commission someone to do that one day.

Guess it was inspired by these:

[Racer X]

Nicely done.
By the way, I always went with the theory that they meant the Camaaaaaargue.
