Your guess is correct, Dan. It's Jeff's work.

Dan, compared to other attempts I've seen of this character, I'd have to say this one is dead on!

got it yesterday via fed express, nicley done with a ton of detail. not a whole lot of cleanup needs to be done...only gripe is that it is cast in blue resign....gotta do a good primer job

Dead on is right! what an incredible 3-D likeness of a 2-D caricature!

Beautiful, but you do need two. One has to be in black and white and the other in color. Sweeeet.

That was the fastest sell-out of a kit I ever saw.

Crap. I was going to order one after I dug myself out of the Christmas hole (just about now).

That was a Monsters in Motion exclusive, wasn't it? So no chance of getting it somewhere else?

Got a little time to paint mine. I went with fleshtones as
most of the paintings Jack Davis did in color of the monster
were in flesh.

Wow...that's the first one i've seen painted. NICE WORK! I'm really not that particular about the flesh-tone, green, blue skin color controversy . It's all good as long as it is well executed and manages to capture the spirit of the character ...you certainly have accomplished that! Looks like a missing Jack Davis comic panel.

Beautiful rendition!

monstroza · February 15, 2009, 11:50:41 AM

Thanks. I reshot the model with a different color background.
It now looks much closer to the how it looks in person....D

Monster Bob · February 15, 2009, 12:12:25 PM

Great looking job, monstroza.

I'm getting full steam into airbrushing (which I have been doing on the side for awhile at work- signmaking), and am going to attempt to paint this kit to look like the poster- that is, a B&W watercolor wash/pen and ink drawing in 3-D, if that makes any sense.

It really is a beautiful sculpt; I am usually pretty tough on garage/resin kits, but this one is five stars in my book.

I just got mine from a friend in Canda and I have to second that:
It's a perfect "10" kit !!!! I also thought about using that pen & ink style rendering on the surface,
but still have no idea how to acomplish that...lots of experimentation - it a Frankenstein anyway!
