Halloween 2011

Here is a recently finished paint project that I thought was appropriate to post
today.  This is a full scale bust of the actor Griffin Dunne as the character
Jack Goodman from the movie An American Werewolf in London.  It was
sculpted by Howard S. Studios.  The bust is hollow resin with glass eyes
added.

Usually I like more of the classic horror/monster movies of the 1920's-1940's,
but American Werewolf was one of the few modern movies that I did enjoy.
There was a good combination of horror and comedy-  in addition the movie
had a great soundtrack.

A Couple of Projects from the Archives

Here are a couple of past paint/build-up projects.  The first is a 1/3 scale resin bust of the
actor Ian McShane from the series Deadwood-  this was sculpted by Andy Bergholtz.  I
painted this in 2006 and added the base with the logo sign.  The Historical Miniature
Magazine #56 2006 featured this on the cover.

The second project is a 1/6 scale figure of Elvira sculpted by John Wright of Vision Models.
This was painted in 2007-   I did some re-sculpting of the hands and the painting was a
challenge because the figure & base are all one piece.

Carhop Service

A project from a while back (2003).  1/8 scale (9" tall) sculpture- painted resin.  Original parts
were made from polymer clay, epoxy putty, styrene, aluminum & wire.  This was also made
into a limited run figure kit (sometimes referred to as a garage kit).  Inspired by a movie from
from the early 1970's that paid tribute to an earlier era.

Paint- Moebius Elvira

This is a build-up & paint that I did of the resin prototype of the Moebius Models Elvira.
It has been displayed at shows in preparation for the release of the styrene model kit.
The original sculpt is by Adam Dougherty.

Pirate Treasure

This is a personal project that was completed in 2009.  It is a scratch-built multi-media

sculpture in 1/16 scale.  The parts are painted resin with fabric & feather details added.

The original parts were sculpted using polymer clay, epoxy putty, styrene, wood, alu-

minum & wire.  Inspired by a long gone scene from a theme park.
