Does anybody remember the Mad Don Martin paperback that featured Martins' character, Fester Bestertester going on a long grouch about "National Gorilla Suit Day?"  Hilarious!

Here's the billboard that appears on the outer wall of my Wally Wood diorama.  I created the painting in alkyds and combined it with signage that I created in Photoshop.  It's based upon the little self promotion that Woody put into his 'Superduperman' splash page, from Mad Number 4.

Your Scratch Built models / My Sixth Finger

This is the ad for my first commercial modeling job, back in '89.  I did the master for a long gone San Francisco company, called Golden Era Models.  The kit was produced for them by Billiken, of Japan.  I understand that it was the first American vinyl kit as well as the first licensed Outer Limits model. This photo is of the original sculpt.  The detail on the production kit was sharper, because I made jewelers bronze castings of the head and hands and added wrinkles, skin pores, finger nails.......all kinds of stuff!

Thanks.  One of the guys in the EC Facebook group has challenged me to do a follow up; a 1/8 scale representation of the EC offices, with the staff going on about their work.  I've accepted, though it's going to be a long term project.  Since it's a personal project, I'm free to show my progress.  I'll keep everybody posted.

Hi,

I've just signed up.  My name's Norm Watson.  I was a sponsor on two of Steves' projects; the Mars Attacks movie and the Enterprise build.  Here's a piece of my work.  It was done for my old friend Roger Hill.  I am proud to have it be a part of his world class collection.

Kindest Regards,

Norm
