Dr Wolfenstein:
Hi Guys, I thought I'd show you a quick glimpse of a personal project I've been working on for awhile now.Please excuse the poor photos.I've still got a lot to do on both figures.Still working on Abbotts likeness,need to finish his socks and hands and add shoe laces and buttons to his shirt.He'll also be wearing a baseball cap.Costello needs some tweaking to his face,hands need to be resculpted holding a baseball bat,buttons and laces also need to be added.I did a quick paint job on the stage and lanterns just to see how they would look.Eventually the lanterns will light up.I may even have an mp3 player inside the stage playing the Who's on first routine.I'm a huge fan of A & C as I know a lot of you are.Total height including the base is about 17 1/2 in.I won't be selling these although I may send a copy to the respective families if it turns out OK. Any comments and criticisms will be greatly appreciated and hopefully spur me on to finish this project. When this is finished I'll start an Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein piece I've been planing and a life size frankenstein. Gab

It's looking incredible so far! I'd like to see a better shot of Abbott's face but I'm honestly not seeing anything to criticize (other than the fact you're not producing any copies for sale ;) )...I've been wanting someone to do a really good A&C kit but so far all the ones I've seen have been a bit off. Even as it is now, your Costello looks better than any I've seen to date and I'm really excited to see the finished piece.
Dr Wolfenstein:
Thanks for your comments lblambert once I get a better likeness of Abbott I'll post more photos, it's only in a rough form at the moment.
