Sculpted by the king of garage kits,

the incredible Jeff Yagher.

This kit came from the owner

of XO Facto, John Tuckey's 

personal collection. Sadly,

John passed away several years

ago and his estate went to auction

and i was lucky enough to purchase it.

Built and Painted by the amazing

Steve Riojas. An image of this actual

build up was used for the box art

for this kit. So rad!!!!!

This awesome kit was sculpted by

the "Kreature Kid" Adam Dougherty.

The kid is wearing the classic

Ben Cooper Creature from the 

Black Lagoon costume from the 70's.

I sculpted the caramel apple and other

candy that is scattered in the street.

The Jack-O-Lanterns light up

with candle flicker LEDs.

 The string of pumpkins on the

fence light up as well.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Glenn Strange - Frankenstein Kitbash!

 Glenn Strange Resin Kit

XO-Facto/Fatman Productions

1/6 Scale

This is a kitbash of three different kits.

The base was made by Fatman Productions,

sculpted by Steve Riojas. I added the row

of large stone blocks at the bottom of the

wall in order to make it a little taller.

I fabricated the torches from Sculpey,

candle flicker LEDs, copper plate, and tubing.

The figure was made from the head and arms

from an XO-Facto "Glenn Strange" kit sculpted

by Jeff Yagher in 2018. The body was from an

XO-Facto "Frankenstein at the dock" kit 

sculpted by Jeff Yagher in 2013. A lot of

fitting, grinding, and re-sculpting was

required to make it all work.   

 

Fantasy Realms - Caught Changing

 Caught Changing Resin Kit

Fantasy Realms (2021)

1/8 Scale

This kit is based off of an illustration

by British artist Matt Dixon.

What a cool and clever concept!!!

I had a lot of fun painting this kit.

"The Monster" Resin Kit

 The Monster

Kitkong (2011)

1/4 Scale

This kit was sculpted by Adam Dougherty.

 I went for a creepy "dead flesh" look on this one.

MFTW Dracula Resin Kit

 Dracula Resin Kit

Monsters From The Woods (2021)

1/6th Scale

This is a beautiful rendition of Bela Lugosi.

 Sculpted by the master of monsters Jeff Yagher.

Vampira Kit Update - Trees Added!!

 Vampira in Graveyard Resin Kit

Monsters From The Woods (2010)

1/6 Scale

I have already made a post about this kit

previously, but thought i would show an

updated pic with the trees that i added to it.

The kit was really crying out for this addition.

It makes it look much more complete and is

accurate to the scene in the Edward D. Wood Jr.

 masterpiece "Plan 9 From Outer Space". :)

Polar Lights / Bowen Designs "The Wolf Man"

 "The Wolf Man" Resin Kit

Polar Lights / Bowen Designs (1998)

1/4 Scale

This kit was sculpted by Randy Bowen.

It is made of cold cast porcelain resin

so it's extremely heavy. I believe there

were 500 kits produced. Mine is #147.

Curse of the Werewolf - Resin Kit

 Curse of the Werewolf

Kitkong (2020)

1/4 Scale

It's huge!!!

This kit is a beast!! 

It measures 21.5 H x 13 W x 8 D.

Sculpted by Jeff Yagher and depicting

Oliver Reed as the Werewolf in the

1961Hammer film. The likeness is spot on!

Jimmy Flintstone - Frankenstein Bust

 P'gosh Jug Frank

Jimmy Flintstone studios (2021)

1/3 Scale

Jimmy Flintstone sells these heads as shifter knobs.

The base (also made by Flintstone) is resin 

and painted to look like rusty metal.

The spark plugs are real and the piston is

from a keychain. The sculpt is taken from

the artwork of Doug P'gosh (from Retro-a-go-go!)

titled "Big Frank's Spare Parts".

This was a lot of fun to paint and build!!

Son of Frankenstein Resin Kit

 Son of Frankenstein

Monsters From The Woods (2020)

1/6 Scale

 

Sculpted by Jeff Yagher.

The kit came with plastic chains that

were really brittle and kept cracking,

so i made my own by bending copper

wire and soldering the links together.

The original rings at the bottom of the

chains were rubber o-rings, so i made

those out of copper wire as well.

Silent Screen Classics - Phantom Bust

Phantom of the Opera

Silent Screen Classics (2008)

1/4 Scale Bust

 

 

Sculpted by Mark Van Tine.

This is a really cool kit, but very

difficult to paint because the head isn't

separate from the torso. Trying to get a

brush in between the collar and neck 

is a real challenge. I would say

this kit is actually more like 

1/3.5 scale. It is a little bigger than

other 1/4 scale kits in my collection.

Vampira in Graveyard - Resin Kit

 Vampira in Graveyard

Monsters from the Woods (2010)

This model kit depicts Vampira from

the Ed Wood film Plan 9 from Outer Space.

job turned out on this one.

Rebel Resin - VooDoo Shrunken Head Frankenstein Kit

 VooDoo Shrunken Head Frankenstein

Rebel Resin (2013)

1/4 Scale

 

Sculpted by Jeff Yagher.

When i got this kit it was missing the

entire top portion of the spear.

I drilled a hole through the head and

inserted a steel rod and re-sculpted

the spear point and shaft.

The hand is an optional piece i had

left over from another kit. I sculpted 

the bone and placed it loose on the

base as a cool addition.

Kitkong - Phantom of the Opera Kit

 Erik the Dead (Phantom of the Opera)

Kitkong (2018)

1/4 Scale

This kit stands 17 inches tall with the base.

It is advertised as 1/4 scale, but in reality

it is 1/5 scale. I did the math.

Sculpted by Jeff Yagher.

Great depiction of Lon Chaney Sr. as the Phantom.

I installed a "candle flicker" LED in the base.

Kitkong - The Mummy Resin Kit

 The Mummy Resin Kit 

Kitkong (2020)

1/4 Scale

Boris Karloff as "Im-Hotep"

From The Mummy (1932)

It stands about 20 inches tall.

 

He is holding the "Scroll of Thoth".

I found an image of the actual Egyptian art

and attached it to the scroll. The back has

an image of Papyrus that i painted a wash over.

 

 

I used mostly flat paint to give it a 

dusty Egyptian desert feel.

Kit was sculpted by Jeff Yagher.
