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.

Monster Mask Book

 Monster Mask Book
Lowe (1963)
9 x 12 inches


This is an extremely rare piece 
of ephemera. Just about every one
of these books got torn apart by
kids that wanted to wear the masks,
so very few survived intact.
I can't be sure, but the cover art
looks like the work of Gray Morrow
who did a lot of covers for
the magazine "Eerie" in the 1960's.

Frankenstein Drinking Glass

 Frankenstein Drinking Glass
Unknown Manufacturer (1983)
7 inches tall


This glass is from a Halloween party
put on by Delta Sigma Phi and Alpha Phi 
in 1983. I think "Green Fog" refers to 
the tasty drink that came in it.
I am not sure what college this is from,
extensive googling led to no conclusion.
This has to be an extremely rare item.
How many of these glasses did they 
have made, and how many even survived
that party at all. I'm guessing not many!!
Most were probably smashed by 
drunken frat boys and sorority girls.

over cool music type of deal.
Most of the tracks can be found
on Youtube if you want a taste.

Vampira Kit Update - Trees Added!!

 Vampira in Graveyard Resin Kit
Monsters From The Woods (2010)

I have already made a post about this kit

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". :)
