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!

7th Voyage of Sinbad Custom Dragon and Cyclops #2  
 
This is my own customized version of the Dragon from the famous Ray Harryhausen film.

The head and neck of this piece is from a bust sculpted by the wonderful sculptor Joe Laudati.

Joe's website is at http://www.joelaudati.com

He has a series of wonderful 7" tall busts of various Harryhausen fantasy critters available for sale (Dragon, Rhedosaurus, Gwangi among others), which you can see on his website. Just go to his site and drop him an email. His Dragon bust that I used in creating this Dragon is hands-down the most accurate likeness of the Dragon from the movie that anyone has ever sculpted.

The body is from the X-Plus Dragon which I repositioned and re-sculpted with Quickplastic putty in numerous places.

I wanted to capture a pose that no one has yet tried to create in the Dragon kits made over the years - so I made him rear on his hind legs.

The Cyclops is the Geometric kit using the other (2-horned) head. I created a ruined castle base and a tree that the Cyclops is holding over his head.
