The FOE show was a blast; had a great weekend overall, and that was a great way to kick it off!
My most sincere thanks to Jim and Nicole- they really are great people, doing a terrific job of bringing kaiju culture to their neck of the woods- I highly recommend that you support 'em!
I'm working on a full show report which should be up on Garamania tomorrow afternoon... but right now it's hotter than blue hell here, and I really need to step away from the computer. In the meanwhile, I wanted to share my entries for the show. Please excuse me, I know it's a ton of pics, but I'm really proud of this little gang! As always, there's a lot of subtle color/light effects that pics just can't convey (a lot of interference paints used on a couple of of these guys, in particular), but innyhoo...
The "not-for-sale"/loaner group (thanks again to all who sent customs back to me for this show!):
... and again, with Gara-eyes blazing from the flash:
And here's the "for sale" group...
"Shriek of the Wendigyango", a heavily reworked Pilot Ace Gyango... I resculpted/repositioned much of the head; rescultped the teeth in GiD plastic; gave him clear acrylic eyes backed with a reflective white paint; recast the original (way too soft) ears in resin, and affixed real metal tines in the one; sculpted an interior mouth, complete w/ big ol' dangling uvula... and a complete re-paint. I threw in a pic of the original head below for comparison... that's how he looks straight outta the box:
"Dichroic Gablar":
"Carbona Hedorah":
"Who's the Boss: Little Showman Gary"... this guy is a combo of an M1-GO Gary, an M1 Semi-Ningen and a Bandai Ultraman Max Pygmon:
And last but not least, "ESP Bagun":
Thanks for looking!
I really like "Shriek of the Wendigyango". So lifelike!
...show report is up!
