Just finishing up this beautiful resin kit of one
of my favorite monsters.
Sculpted by Galeelaeo Hernandez.AKA Roostercat.
This is one of eight castings.
Two progress pics and some of the finished piece.
4 ft of coolness.

Fantastic! Just now watching the movie (had to order the DVD from Amazon).

Would love to see some pics with some real-world objects near it to judge the full size.
 
GAAAHHH!!! My eyes!!!! Sorry, just had a flashback.. (twitch) :eek

I worked on that movie. We did the CG Kothoga and the other digital FX work. The design of the critter (whom Peter Hyams called 'Bob') was very cool, you just didn't get a good look at him. Stan's monster was nice - but it was hard to get it to do everything Peter wanted to do. Thatput more pressure on us, and it was one of our first full-on creature CG efforts. It wasn't a fun experience at the time, but I kinda have a different perspective now.

I must saw that this rendition of 'Bob' - from the sculpt to he paintjob, is just stunning. Kudos to all that were involved in it.

Thanks very much guys and Gene..THANK YOU!
Hearing from someone that worked on the movie
really made my day.
I used a bunch of different acrylics and inks.
Also a few metallics and of course some washes.
I applied a brown glaze over a light tan base to start things off
where there are light colored scales.
Thanks again for the nice coments.
