(Oh, and I don't think that "horror" means the same as "splatter": some of the best horror movies don't have much, if anything, by way of blood and guts: see, for example, Robert Wise's The Haunting, James Whale's Bride of Frankenstein or even Hitchcock's Psycho.)

that occured to me a while ago when I was watching In The Mouth of Madness... horror has given way to splatter and gore nowadays

Thanks guys!

Hopefully, all going well, this will be cast when it's done. I'm not actually using THAT much green stuff, it's only a top layer. I got 36inches worth of the stuff for £8 off of eBay and I've only used about 8inches of it so far!

Dr The Viking-that Iron Maiden poster looks great! I might see if I can have a wee added extra for my client by making that face! That's cool! I might try an extra mask as well, but I'll see how I get on.

Just on a side note, I see it's on ITV4 tonight at 9 if you live in Britain( .....and don't worry EG it's the original one! )

Great stuff! Wouldn't it have been easier just to make it out of wicker?

[Thunderchicken]

Sigh!

110% Agree - They rarely make Horror Movies anymore, just gore and splatter movies.

Interestingly, Edward Woodward's is the only performance I've seen; have Nicolas Cage on disc somewhere, but not spun it up yet.

We older, parochial Yanks tend to think of Mr. Woodward as 'The Equalizer'.

All that 'wicker' out of eight inches of ribbon? Outstanding! However, stretched that thin, and I can suppress my worries about top-heaviness.

Now, you need a Christopher Lee fig, and, of course, a dancing Britt Eklund...

PS I actually like a bit of splatter and gore, but even that can be 'ruined' in the wrong hands, and most are, you know.

This is really looking brilliant so far, I'll be following this with interest. This would be a great piece to cast in rigid foam with resin details.

There was something in the Warhammer backstory about how Nurgle worshippers used wickermen in their sacrifices and how Papa Nurgle resembled one. I've always imagined one with arms and heads sticking out like the sacrifices were prisoners in a cage. Maybe I shouldn't be imagining stuff like that. Maybe I need to listen to less Iron Maiden...

[Laughing Ferret]

very impressive 

[carlos marighela]

That's really quite amazing!

Now who makes a 28mm Edward Woodward?

[Andym]

Great stuff! Wouldn't it have been easier just to make it out of wicker?

I don't think the feel/scale of the wicker would have felt quite right and also it would be a bugger to cast!!

I've maaaayyyybbee gone a wee bit off track here, but that picture of the Iron Maiden Wickerman that Dr The Viking posted is cool!



I'll make this an alternative head and if my client wants it, he's more than welcome to it.

Thanks for the encouraging comments guys!

[Dr. The Viking]

OH!

I'm always glad to be of service. Viking Derailing Inc.

...and now I'm hoping it be cast?

[uti long smile]

You genius!

I'm making up a base to put it on. This is only a start. My plan is to make a kind of pyre to surround the stone base and steps leading up to the statue.



P.S. The base will hopefully look a lot better when it's finished!!!

[OSHIROmodels]

EDDIE!!!!

When it's cast and for sale I'll get one off you for my mate at work (we're big Maiden fans and try to go to their concerts whenever they play in England. He likes his horror films as well  ).

Great work Andy you talented so and so 

cheers
