Rock'em Sock'em Robots

An idea I've had for a long time is to re-do the classic 60's toy into a more realistic version by adding alien pilots and their cockpits to create a sci-fi chariot battle scene.  The robots are original toys with a few additions, mainly struts and cables inside the arms and of course the chariot set up.  I tried to stay with the retro rivet styling and even made the aliens' controlers to resemble the thumb button ones from the original game.  It's a fun piece and just shows how some things never die.


A Few Big Heads

I've been very fortunate to be able to work with Mark Brokaw and Earthbound Studios.  His Bighead series of 1950's B-movie monster busts are a real favorite of mine.  It seems like almost yesterday I was planted in front of the TV watching these movies on "Science Fiction Theatre" with our Horror Host of the day, Count Sven during the early to mid 1960's.  Here's a few for starters including a couple pictures of the Invasion of the Saucermen display at Wonderfest a few years ago.

Odd Ball

"Odd balls", builds that don't fall into a group, altered or "kit bashed", scratch building, off subjects, my favorite and most fun to do.
