MEDUSA

I've been watching another tutorial on Catmeleon's channel, this one on how to create a Medusa. Completely mesmerising if you have a spare 40 minutes.

HEADSHRINKER

 Before going to meet a mate for a Chinese buffet I'm shrinking a head.

A doll's head to be precise.

I'm doing it for my next custom project.

I'm following this fabulous tutorial on You Tube by Catmeleon.

Amazingly, I'm shrinking the same doll's head! Spooky!

Have you ever shrunk a head?

RISING FUN: VINTAGE JAPANESE TOY ADVERTS

This is fun, Skullbrain's huge online scroll of old Japanese toy ads from magazines and comics. So many Kaiju and cool things. 

What would you like in your Christmas stocking?

More up to date, this whistle candy rang a bell. I love the little boxed premiums that came with it!

Rob's Monogram/Atlantis Orbital Rocket Redux!

Hi Woodsy!

Here is my latest model build, the brand-new Atlantis reissue of the 1959 Monogram Willy Ley Orbital Rocket. I had this one as a kid, and it was amazing to be able to build it again.

Monogram originally released two kits using basically the same molds, the Orbital Rocket (PS46), shown here, and a Passenger Rocket (PS47), with a slightly different Shuttlecraft. Both are excellent Sci-Fi designs from the glory days of NASA concept vehicles.

The Orbital Rocket kit came with two large fuel tanks, which I did not add, as they obscured the lower wings and (retracted) landing gear.

This terrific kit also came with four figures, which I declined to paint, as they are so tiny. Painting tiny figures is a young man's game!

Enjoy!
