My Garage Kit Gallery
ESTABLISHED SEPTEMBER 2005.

Welcome - I hope you enjoy viewing my work. I modify most of my figure kits so that they wind up quite different from the original. (And there is a lot more here than just dinosaurs - so browse on!) I re-discovered the joy of art in mid-life and its been a joy to create and share my vision with others. Art, like all creative gifts, exists to be shared so as to enrich the lives of others.

So this website is my gift to you. If you have an interest in art/sculpting/modeling of all kinds of subjects, I would recommend that you check out the Internet Figure Modeling Clubhouse at

INTERNET CLUBHOUSE and also see

MODEL WARSHIPS.COM

At both sites you will find incredible artists and sculptors, some nationally known. Their work will leave you in awe.

Thank you for stopping by!

Bullyland/Carnegie Giganotosaurus Kitbash 
 
3 years ago Carnegie produced a Giganotosaurus with an exquisitely accurate head, but a body that was much too slender and bent awkwardly, plus it could not stand on its own no matter what I tried.

Fastforward to 2010 - Bullyland produces a same scale Giganotosaurus of its own, with a much more accurate body (save the arms which are a bit too large, but we can't have everything), and an absolutely horrendous head.

The solution? Marry up the Carnegie Giga head with the Bully. Giga body, then repaint.

2 lengthwise slices were cut out of the neck between the scutes to narrow it for the Carnegie head, glued together, and the the head attached with wire and glue.

Gaps were puttied and texturized, and the right arm turned inwards using the same methods, to correct the orientation of the palm inwards.
