Ford F-250 Zombie Truck (WIP)

Just wanted to post some in progress pix of my F-250 Zombie truck. Suspension is done (for the most part) and now working on the body. I will continue to tweek the suspension as I work on it to get the "sit" that I want. I will have it there on Friday.

Highlights In History

2011 marks the anniversary of several key events related to our modeling interests of sci-fi/fantasy/horror. While this list is by no means all inclusive, here are a few “history highlights” that I found rather, shall we say, "interesting"........................

2011 marks the:

45th anniversary of the debut of Star Trek on television.

80th anniversary of the classic Universal Monsters.

115th anniversary of the publication of “The Island of Dr. Moreau” by H.G. Wells.

138th anniversary of the publication of “A Season in Hell” by French poet Authur Rimbaud.

150th anniversary of the start of the American Civil War.

183 years ago, noted sci-fi author Jules Verne was born.

LOTR - Ringwraith WIP

Being a fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy I couldn’t resist purchasing the Ringwraith set from Games Workshop. The set contains nine 30mm white metal figures.

After cleaning off the mold lines and flash from the figure (which wasn’t too bad) I went over the figure with some fine steel wool and washed it in some warm soapy water, then set it aside to dry overnight. I primed the figure with Citadel Chaos Black and set it aside to dry.

I’ll be back soon with more WIP photos showing the detailing of the figure and base.

Greetings!!!!! I have arrived!!!!!

I have finally arrived. Escaped if you will from the dark dungeon. Some of you I know and for those that don't, please allow me to introduce myself. They call me "Fritz" and I am The Undertaker's apprentice.

My main modeling interests are horror, fantasy, and sci-fi just like everyone else here. To date, I have not shown any of my work for fear that the master would finally found out about my own secret devious expreiments. No more hiding and lurking in the shadows. The time has come to show my own work and the results of my own labors from many a countless evenings spent practicing the skills I have learned under the guidance of the members of The Fellowship.

Be watching modeling friends for my first entry..........................
