THE CLUBHOUSE

I love seeing the paint slinging and the creations you come up with on the kits! Always in AWE of your creative mind!

Thanx buddy and welcome back!

So. I'm making good progress with Ignatz. This is another awesome add-on! I LOVE the sculpt and how it has the comical look like the other dino's from the original kits! I'm trying to remember where I got it? Escape Hatch? I'm pretty sure this honker was sculpted by Jeff Johnson. Love the detail!



And BTW. Does anyone know why I call these 'Honkers'? I'll bet Trevor does. But the 1st answer wins a 'Gold Key' !

You are correct. Jeff sculpted it. You can't miss his work on these kits, as he always captured the 'Aurora feel'.
Also, yeah, Todd was the last one to produce these. (he borrowed my kit for the molds)

Kewl!

Jeff Johnson did the Iggy and Raptor sculpts. It was fun working with him on them. He was passionate about the IGGY! He kept telling me that he is channeling Bill Lemon. LOL What a guy! (I miss the old days) After the Protoceratops, Iguanodon was calling to be added.

Thankfully Trevor was there for several kits to be remolded as either sculpts or molds broke, damaged or plainly disappeared.

I am not saying anything about any specifics until producers announce things themselves.
Pretty sure one of them is going to take until fall-ish.

I don't think anyone has ever asked me to keep things secret, it's just the way I prefer to work.
Things take time and I don't want to steal anyone's thunder.
Look what happened to Monarch when they would announce kits way too early. Better to stay quiet until things are ready to launch.

Mrrrr.. In the meantime some progress. Ive done the head and arm's because they're easy individually. The torso is a big heavy hunk and is gonna take some time.....

Is yours solid?
My original is hollow cast, which makes it really nice.

Hollow by still heavy.

No answer to the 'STONE" age question?

And BTW. Does anyone know why I call these 'Honkers'? I'll bet Trevor does. But the 1st answer wins a 'Gold Key' !

Does anyone know if Mike is shutting down? His website has been down for a while and I saw this on e-bay.

The old Gold Key comic, Turok, Son of Stone, used to refer to dinos as "honers".

We have winner!
