Some New Aquisitions

Been away for a while but I'm back and with me a few new kits.
First one is a Vincent Price kit in chariacture form. Looks pretty good, sorta felt like a hollow casting.

The Art of Creature and Character Design

A few weeks ago I pledged for The Art... Book by Sandy Collora on Kickstarter. Luckily the project was funded and I received my autographed book today. The card that came with it was numbered 334/794. 

Sandy Collora grew up in Staten Island, NY, and headed to Los Angeles for college and where he started in the business working for Stan Winston. 
The book contains Steve's work, and the works of Jordu Schell, Steve Wang, and Dominic Qwek to name a few.  
It's an excellent book for those interested in all the special effects monsters in Hollwood.

Kreature Kid's Ghost Bust Finished

This guy has been sitting around for a few days. It was a very nice kit with just a few bubbles that needed to be filled.  It came in 4 parts - the bust itself, two arms and the headstone base.  
I added an artificial eye to the model. I don't know if it was supposed to come with a molded in eye that was ruined by a bubble or what. But I figured it would be easier for me to just buy a set of eyes. I measured the opening and chose a set of 4 mm brown eyes. Here he is --


Thanks for looking.
