 VooDoo Shrunken Head Frankenstein
Rebel Resin (2013)
1/4 Scale
 

Sculpted by Jeff Yagher.

entire top portion of the spear.

inserted a steel rod and re-sculpted

left over from another kit. I sculpted 
the bone and placed it loose on the
base as a cool addition.

Geometric Designs Mummy Bust With Custom Pyramid Base

Mummy Bust Resin Kit
Geometric Designs (circa 2000)
7 1/2 inches tall


Depiction of Boris Karloff as Im-Hotep.
Sculpted by Kenneth Nyman.
This kit originally came with a basic
rectangular block base with a steel rod
that attached to the Mummy.
I purchased this from a guy that added
the Pyramid as a base. He just glued
the tip of the Pyramid into the hole on
the bottom of the Mummy. Of course
it snapped off during shipping.
So i ground off the tip of the Pyramid
and connected the two using a steel rod.
Originally i intended on repainting it,
but the paint job is really well done 
so i kept it the way it was.
