Spring sunshine seems to have lit the last sleepy chamber of my noggin and I'm dreaming up lots of new customs.
Here's one, in a horror mood, the dreadful Cronos bug device from the movie Cronos, a fantastically stylish 1993 debut flick from maestro Guillermo Del Toro before he got famous. Ron Perlman lumbers through it too.
At it's dark clicking heart is a 16th Century gold scarab. It contains an awful creature both wildly animating and terribly vampiric in nature. Hapless victims grasp it at their peril.
An amazingly vivid film with an iconic prop, there are many pro models and beautiful replicas of this clockwork jeweled wonder online, so many in fact that. I found it hard to locate the original film prop!
This is my much simpler effort using one of Junior's beetles to create a sort of toy finish!
Never heard of it before, I do enjoy Del Toros stuff generally. His Cabinet of Curiosities series on Netflix was especially gory! Bill
ReplyDeleteYes I saw the first Cabinet episode. Very good. Cronos was Guillermo's first film Bill. The device really makes the movie go.
