This was the second kit to
be issued by Gary Wilson's company Creatures Unlimited.
This was an early test shot which didn't have the base which was
included with the
final release edition. Mike is a well known fan
of the movie and I believe it really shows
in his work. His first
1/6th scale figure, a major hit for Creatures Unlimited, was
a very
impressive piece of sculpting ( which was originally
going to be issued as a vinyl kit)
but this second figure really
blows that one away. I painted the kit with acrylics and
my usual
old fashioned brushes, using a mixture of dry brushing and washes.
A big thanks to artists such as Dave Fisher for teaching me these
techniques
