Chuck, you’re in!
And with that, we have ourselves a group build! The more, the merrier! I will put an order in for a badge on Monday.
This sounds fun, but don’t add me to the list just yet. I have a Zeiram kit that might be good, but I want to see if I’m likely to have the time for it.
Could be Dark Horse, Tim, but I can’t say for certain. Been scouring the web for any info on this kit and so far, nada. As far as the scale goes, I’m basing my new estimate on the fact that Kevin Peter Hall, the actor who portrayed the creature in the first two films, was 7’ 2" tall. I then measured sections of the kit and figured that standing upright it would be just under 11" in height, did the math and came up with a 1/8 scale result.
A little inspiration for Aaron:
I will oficially join the fray with a Moebious ‘‘Creature Frm The Black Lagoon’’. Sory for the typos but way to manybirthday margatiteas to figure out how to spell check on the new tablet. [+o(]
Looks like this is shaping up to be quite the GB. Really looking forward to this one - man, it’s been ages since my last figure model (well, actually 7 years, but you get the idea). Back in '06 was when I built this 1/10 Andreas miniatures bust…
Is that the new kit of the Gillman carrying the girl?
Cheers, Aaron
Wow, Mike…that looks fantastic! I’m looking forward to learning a lot from you guys on this one…
Nice work Mike, love the patina you’ve got going there on the bronze/brass (whichever it is, I get mixed up) helmet!
Kugai - There’s a spot open for you when you’re ready to go!
I am seriously out of my league here. [whstl] However, that’s never stopped me before…
Here’s a recent 54mm fig from Andrea’s Dark Nova line I finished a couple of years ago.
I’d have to say that’s the most recent one I’ve put any amount of real time on. Recently, everything else has been slap-dash at best.
OK I’ll bite for a second GB with you guys I have the two Dragon Iron Man VII suits in the stash, the Combat version and the flying version in 1/9. I was going to light at least one but I think that may be a bit much for my skill level at the moment. If someone wants to do either of the two i have I can swap, or I could go mad and try both!!

Phil - Let’s put you down for one or the other and then, if you have enough time, you can tackle the second one. So, which do you think you’d like to do first?
As inspiration and proof that if I can do this, anyone can. I specialize in doing these bigger figures mostly with an airbrush, because I get way-better results than I do by hand. These were all done that way. Prior to finishing the first, the last figure I built was Horizon’s Robocop in 1989 with one-color flesh, one-color metal, etc.
Revell re-issue of the classic Aurora “Creature From the Black Lagoon”
Polar Lights Moe from “The Three Stooges”
Moebius “The Mummy”
Cheers, Aaron
Tim
Put me down for the Combat version and if no one claims the other I’ll give it a go if I get time
Phil
Done!
Mike (ruddratt) - sweet job on that deep sea diver. As noted, brass looks excellent as does the face.
Tim - looks right on, and at 54mm - wow! Is that an off take from the Warhammer40k genre?
Aaron - inspiring work there, and you say all airbrushed? Do you do any masking?
I’ll be joining in with a 1/7 resin kit of Psylocke, a member of the X-men. I think the maker’s brand is Antihero.
Hoping it arrives in time as it’s been on pre-order fro almost a month now. 
regards,
Jack
Thanks for the compliments. The fig isn’t part of the 40K universe, but it’s definitely influenced by it.
I think the your kit is made by GK Figures and the line is called Antihero. And, Psylocke is, in my opinion, one of the coolest X-men characters, and under-utilized in the “expanded” universe stuff Marvel had done outside of the comics. Great choice, too. Dynamic pose. Can’t wait to see how the model turns out!
Tim, you know more about Psylocke than I do - lol.
I receive a weekly email from e2046 to see what is coming out over the horizon, and when I saw her, I had to add it to the stash. No clue who the character was, but have since googled her to at least find out what her powers were. As you said, a very dynamic pose and the sculpting looks incredible.
regards,
Jack
