Here's a little project I've been playing with recently, 1/3rd scale Mr Barlow from the classic 1979 TV film of Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot'.
I have to say at the time, Barlow scared the crap out of me and James Mason played the role of his evil guardian brilliantly.
I picked this bad boy up at the recent UKGK show, I've always wanted a Barlow piece on the shelf and this ticked the box!
Digitally sculpted very nicely by Andrew Copeland, the main parts cast traditionally in resin by Killer Kits. The torso is hollow cast, the head solid,
while his trademark hands were 3D printed. I can only guess those long talons would be a nightmare to get out of a rubber mould.
He's quite an imposing figure at around 13" tall, looming over the Marsten House on the base. Fussy bugger that I am, I did a little resculpting with Milliput
on the edges of the cape as I wanted it to hang over his right arm more and also thickened up his fangs a little. Then got into painting his head and hands.
Still a way to go, I've got to add some veining in pastels on his head and the hands are only roughed in with first washes, awaiting oils to soften up the blends.
As usual, I'l be back when I've got more to share!
