George Johnson’s Frankenstein and Wolfman

Over the winter I resurrected my old models that I did when I was a mere embryonic parasite in the early 60s. I also added some new ones. After 50+ years of banging around in boxes they were a mess but all the pieces were there.

Wolfman – Ear tufts added and neck shortened 1/2 inch. Head is moved forward and down to give him a more menacing stance. Puttied with thick acrylic artist paint directly from the tube. Easy to sculpt and remains pliable. The nose was shortened and upturned for a dog look. I used a grey wolf for the coloring scheme. The lips were cut back to reveal snarl. Teeth and eyes are made with dimensional ‘glo’ acrylic gel for fabrics.   The lettering is done with acrylic glo paint. Teeth and eyes are glo ‘gel’ applied directly from the bottle. The entire model is then sprayed with Krylon Glowz straight from the can from one direction for that moonlit look. By spraying from 4 feet away the paint is nearly dry when it falls onto the surface giving a frosted/dusty appearance. You can barely make out the pentagrams on his palms. This worked well on the Mummy as well.

Frankenstein – All my models have Glow features and are extremely detailed.   Only the headstone and grass glow on this one.
