HW 2007-11 Model Madness
I started sending out various holiday e-cards when I got my first computer back in 2001 and multi-page Scrapbooks followed shortly thereafter. I’ve been doing these Images of Halloween collections since 2003. This is a page from 2007.
I did this series of pages for four years. I photographed a bunch of my old models and composed the pics as trading cards. The dates are the years I built the models. The Pumpkin Scarecrow (1987) is an old candy container dated back to the early 1950s. The Red Death (1997) is a custom using figure parts from Aurora’s Undertaker Dragster and Mod Squad Woodie car kits. Aurora’s Monster Scenes Frankenstein got heavily modified to depict the Monster as it appeared at the end of “Son of Frankenstein”. Unbottled Spirit (1996) is the Addar Spirit in a Bottle kit without the bottle! Dr. Deadly and Vampirella are both modified versions of the Aurora kits. The Hooded Menace (1999) is a simple, one-piece polyethylene figure by Multiple. I did all three of the Monster Scenes figures in 1971 and created new, larger bases for them in 1989.
