I bought this resin Creature bust at the IPMS show in Columbus and finished painting it yesterday. I've never worked on anything this large... measures almost 11" tall... and this was my first venture into a fully resin model. I'm pleased with the results... it was fun. I do have to admit I missed the building process, since it came as one piece and needed very little clean-up. - Denis

Thanks guys!! It's cool when you try something a little different and it actually comes out nicely. - Denis

Great job Denis, I've always thought the Creature is one of the most difficult monsters to paint due to the variations in the colour. You really nailed it!

SHARP dklange, good eyes and nice paint job :thumbsup:

 

[dklange]

Thanks, the green really looks even better than in the photo... I air-brushed several shades of green, lights and dark, and some yellow then added a good amount of dry-brushing.

The eyes were one of my biggest concerns since they really make the final piece look "real". I used David Fishers' approach from his video series. Keeping my hands steady was my biggest concern, since I'm not in the "young" category anymore!

Thank-you for the compliments!

The Creature movie is one of my favorites from back in the 60's when I a kid, I bought the DVD from Universal that has "The Creature from the Black Lagoon", "Revenge of the Creature" and "The Creature Walks Among Us". It's very Cool!!! NOT one of my wife's favorite DVD's!!!

Otto - I also looked at the kit several times during the show on Thursday and finally, just as they were turning the lights out, I decided to buy it. Really glad I did!!

Thanks again!

I'm working on the same kit. It's nice isn't it? Daniel Horne sculpted it.

Tonyray - dude - you've never seen Creature From The Black Lagoon?!?!?!?! Get up from the computer right now, go out and get a copy - buy it, rent it, whatever - and correct this heinous oversight!! Your life will be better for it. :thumbsup:
