New updated Demogorgon sculpt by John Dennett!
« on: November 02, 2016, 06:16:43 AM »
In 1984 John Dennett sculpted a Demogorgon figure for Grenadier Miniatures.  It's one of my favorite figures from that era, and it was recently featured in Stranger Things on Netflix.



John is currently updating the sculpt for a modern scale, to reflect current casting & moldmaking technology, and of course to demonstrate what 30 years of practice & improving skills looks like!



Here's the armature along with the original so you can see the scale of the new model.



Bulking out the wire...



Keep an eye on the https://www.facebook.com/DemogorgonKickstarter/ page for regular updates, although I'll post news here when I can.

On another note; I can imagine that there has been a sharp increase in the sales of that particular miniature since Stranger Things first aired... ;)

Really? Why??

Because lots of people don't realize how much ex-Grenadier stuff is still available through Mirliton, of course.  :)

I think Miniature Heroes in the UK got a load in as well.
