I completed this Jeff Yagher sculpt of the Jack Davis Frankenstein this afternoon.

Another one of Mr. Yagher's beautiful sculpts. Very cool details!

I sculpted the "Frankenstein" on the grave stone.

Thanks for looking!

Nice job on a cool model. I've long been a fan of Franky and Jack Davis, but I guess I'd forgotten he'd done any Frankenstein art. It looks like this model is based upon Davis' "Giant Life Size Frankenstein Pin-Up" which long ago sold for a whooping $2.00 from Captain Company.

Thanks, Denis, dabbler, Wade and James!!:)

Great job on a cool kit...
Like opening up an old Monster Mag from the 60's :)

First time I saw this kit that was also my thought... it's been a very enjoyable kit to build and finish. The frog was the most difficult to get the look I wanted... but in the end everything turned out very nicely.

Fantastic paint job on that rethought Frankenstein. It is a cool sculpt because of it's cartoonish inspiration. Your paint job is excellent and all the painting detailing you did really stand out. Is this one coming to the Fest in 4 weeks?

Hi Bob - Yes, he's the last one I'm doing for Wonderfest this year. As May approaches I'm really looking forward to the fest!! See you there!:thumbsup:

Thanks, Mark, Chris, Rat Salad, Night-Owl, and Y3a!!:)

Whoah, that frog looks toadly cool! Great job on the kit!
Excellent sculpting job on the headstone too.
What colors did you use on his hairshirt?
Thanks, the Frankenstein type was a challenge but I really did enjoy it.

The hair shirt was first painted solid Dk. Brown(Tamiya acrylics), then I dry-brushed red-brown, desert yellow, and finally deck tan for some highlights. I sealed with Testors dull-coat clear between colors.

Wow! Now I want one. How big is it?
He stands a little over 13" tall.

Thanks again for taking the time to comment!

Thanks Denis! I'm working on only the 2nd Wolfman I've ever built/painted. I'm liking the coloring on that hairshirt, and trying to figure out what colors to use on his fur.
