Looking great so far! Were his teeth that big (in that version) though?

Nice!

 

[Simmon M]

Ok - this one's done!

These will be available starting this Friday (9/28). For further details or ordering info please contact Brian directly at: angrygnome2006@aol.com

Oh, and there might be a little surprise in store for anyone interested in this one ...

Wow. :eek

That's really impressive. Nice!

I really love this! :loveI have allways been a fan of Godzilla since the late 60's. It is still fun to pop in one of those films and sit back and take in all of the vintage effects. Funny how we never saw the thin wires on the zeros as they were attacking when we were kids.

What will the finnished sculpt be made from, and how big is it? And one last thing, what will it weigh?

Looks like he has a few versions on Evil-Bay right now.

They are full sized hollow cast from the descriptions.

No links though, just search Godzilla

Now thats fast work! Cool piece.

They are hollow resin cast. Brian has done a few different g-suits thus far and he throws them up on ebay all of the time. He doesn't have much exposure on these boards which is why I thought I'd try and help him out by showing off his pics here and over at the HMA.

Brian has done a 74 Godzilla, a 91 Godzilla, a GMK and now the 62. In the past he has done a 60's styled Ghidorah as well as it's 91 counterpart. I own the 91 but it was an original sculpture that he never had a chance to make copies of.

I can't give you the exact dimensions right now because I'm at work but here are some pics of his 74 and GMK that I received last week. The GMK is H-U-G-E ... the 62 is slightly smaller. It's about the size of the 74 pictured below.

And here's a pic of the 91 Ghidorah ...

Shoot him an email for further details. He's a decent guy to deal with and very responsive.

I should be receiving a casting of both the 1991 Godzilla and the 1962 Godzilla some time next week. I'll post pics once I have them in hand.

Really lovely work, my hat's off to him:thumbsup I just had a thought. Can you just see two 7 foot tall or so full body Godzilla's cast in concrete on either side of an entrance to a drive way:love

:thumbsup

That looks good! :thumbsup
Really nicely textured, that must have taken a while to get down.


Side note (not to hijack): Anyone know what those army trucks are in the Japanese monster flicks that have a satellite dish in the truck bed that shoots laser beams?

The heads look great, but I am not much of a bust collector, a full suit would have me whipping out the check book in a hot second though.

Brian told me to tell you that they were called MASER trucks.

The for-sale thread in the Junkyard mgoob asked about a Mosugoji bust ... that sort of inspired Brian so he's doing that one next. Then he's going to work on a companion piece to the '62. If you've seen the movie then you have a good idea as to what it could be.

I dunno if any of you guys are Daimajin fans but he just finished a majin bust. I'll post pics of it once he has pulled the first cast.

Full size suit ... dunno if he has the clay or the room! LOL! But that would be a-w-e-s-o-m-e-!

Thanks, bro!
