THis is the vinyl kit of Creech released by Horizon in the early 90s. He was a joy to build. I used the standard vinyl techniques, except I used epoxy to fill his lower legs instead of plaster.

Thanks! It only took 3 or 4 repaints to be happy with the flesh tones. =)

Moebius Models Batman. A beautifully engineered kit, heartily recommended. Painted with Lifecolor and Citadel Acrylic (face) and Tamiy & Gunze acrylics for everything else.

Hi Crowe, Couldn't tell you what size eyes you'd need for the Rex. I didn't fit glass eyes to mine, although I wish I had now.

Hi Keith, I didn't go quite that far, just filled the legs with plaster (wishing I'd used epoxy now) and the body and tail with polyurethane foam. Whole thing was airbrushed, including the stripes. The biggest challenge was getting both sides to match up. Having a mirror on the workbench so...

This is my build of Horizon's 1/5 scale vinyl Jurassic Park Velociraptor. This kit is about 20 years old now and was mastered from the study maquette sculpted at Stan Winston Studio. I did the usual vinyl kit stuff and added a threaded steel rod to the leg to allow it to be screwed to the...

Mean Machine Angel, built from the styrene kit produced by Halcyon for the 95 Judge Dredd. I built this one mostly out of the box with the exception of a near total rebuild of the arm using the usual scratch build materials. The belt buckle was scratched from styrene stock and brass chain and...

I did this design for the Dredd Helmet comp this year. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to fabricate one. Glad you guys like it :)
