Monkey-Man Bust
|
Gift
|
I made this on the spur. Just a howling monkey-like creature. | |
 |
Broken Chaos Devil
|
Junk Sculpt
|
Can 2 unused, unfinished "junk" sculptures be combined to make 1 "good" one? The answer... is no. | |
 |
Sandworm
|
Gift
|
This was a gift for a friend's Warhammer 40K game. But then again, I took it back, so is it still a gift? Oh yeah, I was supposed to finish it or something... | |

GR-X Engine Grave
|
Streamline Modelworks
(In-House) |
This was a supplemental piece for Streamline's Speed Racer GR-X model. In the story, they find the engine for this ultimate car buried in the inventor's grave... Probably the weirdest thing I have ever been asked to model. I made up much of the engine, not much reference available. | |
 |
Dumasst
|
Junk Sculpt
|
Just a Dumass guy. He is NOT supposed to be that famous indie director that a few people have intimated. After I added the hair, I guess there is a resemblance. But I wouldn't call that guy a dumass, he's one of my cinematic heroes. This is just a dumass guy, really. | |

Giant Space Monster
|
Naïve Attempt
|
Ah... nostalgia. This was my first attempt (way back in 1992) at a full scratchbuilt model. I don't know why, but I was inspired to make the spidery, crablike Giant Space Monster from Gunbuster (which you can just barely see in a couple frames of the show). This was before I discovered Sculpey, wax, castilene, epoxy putty, or anything you wouldn't find in a corner craft store .So anyway, this thing was pretty big, the legspan was about 2 feet. The legs were are all carved individually BY HAND from blocks of balsa wood using a rounded Xacto knife (can you say "calluses"?). The legs had double-jointed hinges and could fold 180° (I intended to cover them with a fleshy liquid latex). The shell and abdomen were carved from green floral foam, painted with 2 part liquid epoxy. The monster head is earthen clay, air dried to greenware, then brushed with epoxy. I made the head hollow for internal lighting by sculpting over a block of styrofoam, then later hitting the opening in the back with spraypaint to melt it out. It actually worked! The eyes are red LEDs. The body (where the legs attach) was balsa covered with paper mache. I abandoned this project when I discovered Super Sculpey, and also became more interested in doing human figures. This ended up in the trash when I moved out, and these are the only picture that exist... Probably for the best. |
