The living creature created by Victor Frankenstein said to be made from the assemblage of multiple human corpses, as well as animal, plant, and other forms of dead tissue. Sometimes referred to a "flesh golem" When I first got the Grundy parts I wanted to do the Hulk as he appeared in the second half of the first issue, but the more I looked at it, I kept seeing the wretch Victor Frankenstein created. Then in a used toy shop in Hamilton, I found a broken toy of Frankenstein's monster, and that completely sealed the deal. The head was severed from the original figure, and filled with apoxy to fit perfectly to the Grundy body. I found I had to give the Grundy base figure a quick, complete sanding so it would take paint, including the rubber jacket (DCU capes and coats are the worst for taking paints!). I did a base coat for each colour, then dry brush for detail, and then dark washes, and topped with one last dry brush for highlights. Then he needed to be dirtied up. Layers of extra browns to get the dirty look of his clothes and shoes. He's a mess from living in hiding because, well he's a monster. *EDIT* -I forgot to mention I had a cheat to complete this baf, can you catch it? Thanks for taking the time to check him out! ![]() |

let me know if you ever want to sell this
As for "Cheating" to complete the CNC I think you may have sculpted the right arm
Well you're on to part of what I did to cheat, I did sculpt the forearms to make them the same width on both sides of both arms, using filling the peg holes as the incentive. The reason being I used the same arm. They both are the left arm. I just swapped it and flipped it around for the right. I dremil and sanded the hole in the sleeve on the bicep, and did different jacket wrinkles on the forearms.
The left fits and works perfectly as the right arm, and it's a lot easier and cheaper to get! I was going to dremil a fer more wrinkles into the shoulder, but I thought it looked pretty good as is, and I didn't want to ruin that.
Thanks!
Oh, but I do have to say the standard "How dare you use a Solomon Grundy figure!", haha. :P
Thanks C.V.! Keep up the Hard work on Mint Condition!
Also thanks for the support on the Frankenstein over the Hulk, I've done a few Hulks, and have never touched one of these, so it was a nice change!
Thanks for the thoughts!
Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate your take on some customs I've done that are some of my top favourite pieces to make! always a fan of your work sir!
Truly inspirational work, dude!
