 P'gosh Jug Frank
Jimmy Flintstone studios (2021)

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.

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.
