Oh man, anyone who can use one of those Rustoleum "trigger" cans without getting it all over the can, their work surface, themselves, and the cat has my vote!

That is absolutely amazing. I've always wanted to make that costume. If you ever sell any raw cast copies, please let me know.

Frazetta Death Dealer Helmet - The paint job is complete!! Highlights were achieved using Liquitex heavy body acrylics and Rubb N Buff. Because of Frank's influence on me as an artist this is one of the most meaningful creations I have built to date. I can't wait to bring the rest of this character to life.

The axe is next!!!

THAT is a work of art that's on par with Frazetta himself. The helmet alone would make for a great display piece.

Frazetta Death Dealer Axe - When I started to visually break down the axe I noticed how difficult the handle was going to be because of the slight curve and tapered thickness. To get the correct curve I cut the handle out of a piece of oak 2x4 with a band saw. Then spent quite a bit of time sanding down the profile on my belt and osculating sander to make it round. Notice there is a taper from the top to the bottom of the handle as depicted in Franks first DD painting.
After the axe handle was near completion I drew out the head and cap on some scrap paper to get the scale correct. Then transferred those to Bristol board these will be my master templates.

Looking very good...I would've preferred less dark wash (but that's just me;))...Eager to see that axe!!

Frazetta Death Dealer Axe - I finally got to open a mini lathe that I had purchased over a year ago! It was a little intimidating at first but after a few test pieces I decided to jump in and sculpt out the bottom cap. The cap was carved out of scrap 4x4 that I had lying around.
