This thread is a big chunk of Extravaganza, glazed with a thin layer of crazyness and topped by a big heart for classic Hollywood.
It's great entertainment to follow along.

Thank you, sir. It was a long, long day at work and reading your comments was an enormous spiritual lift.mostrich wrote:This thread is a big chunk of Extravaganza, glazed with a thin layer of crazyness and topped by a big heart for classic Hollywood.

Thank you, sir. You’re closer to the answer then you might think. I do have Godzilla stomping his way to Los Angeles at the moment, and plans to add resin bits and bobs.BlackSheep214 wrote:Now Bruce gotta do Godzilla next!

However I have to build Vasca da Gama’s carrack for a music video. I’m excited about this because it’s a storm effects sequence done with practical effects. The model won’t survive, but the images will.
Mustang! I have learned so much about finishing models from you, brother.mustang1989 wrote:Freakin' WOW!!!! Awesome work brother Bruce!!!!

Don’t forget Ghidra too - the three-headed Japanese dragon!
I can’t remember if there was a Rodan kit too. I had Kong, Godzilla and Ghidra kits when I was a kid.

I missed this thread from being away. Man Mr B that is so sweet. The B&W pic is especially convincing. Well done brother, well done.
Now that we know that.... What have we learned?...
