Thank you for all the positive feedback...it was a labor of love. Two years of on and off again designing, sculpting, molding, casting and finishing. I couldn't go to the "Gorn" shop for anything...it all had to be designed and fabricated. I have thousands of hours into creating this piece...

The material for the Gorn costume doesn't exist any longer. You can't buy it anywhere and it was impossible to have a company weave the same design for an affordable price. If you look at the real costume up-close as I have you'll see it's a woven type material with a lot of silver and mainly...

Hello, I haven't posted here in some time but I have an interesting Star Trek project I wanted to share with everyone. Here is a prototype I designed for a toy company for possible licensing. I was fortunate enough to acquire a copy of one of the original "Gorn" Heads from the original Series...

Hello everyone, I started this project a few years ago and recently started getting a few completed and shipped out to new homes. I thought everyone might be interested in seeing how they turned out. These are prototypes and only a few are being made with the end game to possibly get them...

I had 6 inch long by 1 1/4 round pipes I screwed into the base with those typical flanges people use. I have a slightly smaller...

I believe the mutant will be at the prop show at Philip's shop in March.....

Hello everyone and thank you for the kind words regarding my work. I've had some requests for some more photos of the Metaluna Mutant life-size statue in progress and here are a couple. I started out by studying the 8-inch Sideshow toy Metaluna Mutant as reference. It really is very accurate...

Hello Everyone, I last posted a photo of my Metaluna Mutant project on this site some time ago. Back then what I had was a white resin head that has since been resculpted to what you see today. I was commissioned by a member here, EAVlll to build this life-size Metaluna Mutant statue. As soon as...

Hello Tyler, I'm glad you like my work... I can't wait to see what you did with the Creature from the black lagoon claw for Factory Entertainment. We have some other new items at Factory Entertainment that will blow people away when they are released....................Douglas

Hello TymerDC, You must have seen a couple of my pieces at the Factory Entertainment booth. FE had a couple of my prototypes on display this year. One was the life-size Karloff lighted Frankenstein bust with features that light up including a voltage meter on the front and the eyes. The...
