New Mask on the Horizon.
Elisa and I are starting a new series based on beetles and other insects. This first one is a Hercules Beetle. I’ve posted my idea-then some of the bug parts (the two wings and the head piece). The group shot also includes the body carapace(the final design has the model’s face covered), the head piece, one wing cover and the legs. The mask is in the corner. The last two are the faux finishes with the enamel treatment in progress. Working on the wings and the legs-will post soon.
I made these several years ago for the 4th of July. The two planes are bottle rockets, Godzilla has a mini Roman Candle in his mouth (and the buildings are rigged to blow), Wiley E Coyote is self explanatory (as the Rocketeer). The Carousel is mounted on a fence spinner thing and the outhouse is rigged with a smoke bomb and some fire crackers (a nice self portrait of me going to the can). None survived.
Commission I did for a Stefan Bucher’s Daily Monster for a trade. It’s based on one of his favorite creations.
Victorian Airship in drydock. Am now working on the staircases in the viewing lounge (where that dip in the bow is).
Some more detail of my Colossus of Hattin. I especially like how the hand gripping the shield came out.
Inspiration Strikes Again!
I purchased a book at ECCC and the artist drew this inside the front cover. I fell in love with it and am making a real version. Thank you M. C. Barrett.
Finally attached the head and finished the arm, hand and axe. Now starting on the lower half…..and some touch up.
