Is that a custom base for it? Pretty creative. The robocop also has some really cool details only someone with talent would be able to do. I wish I was even remotely talented enough to put one together clumsily, let alone as nice as yours. Thanks for showing those off!

I've known about them, but never truly understood how rewarding they can be in a collection. And now I'm obsessed. I've been buying kits I really like and having Nick over at moviemodelkits.com paint them and assemble them for me as my budget allows.

Here are pictures of the two kits I already have in my possession. The Screamin' Jason. This is the one that started it for me. When I saw how beautiful Nick made it, I was hooked. I had seen others before, but I never felt they looked all that great. Nick did a badass job on this guy.

Then I got the Young Jason kit. I asked Nick to make him as movie accurate as possible. He definitely came through.

Sorry the phone pictures aren't better.

Currently in the mail is the kit I have been dying for! Tom Savini's Fluffy! It has been in the works for a few months due to so many complications. The folks at resinrealities.net are absolutely wonderful. They helped me complete this kit. I've also got their Mist Creature kit in the works (Nick already has it in his possession, along with a Screamin' Jason Goes to Hell kit).

Also, if you guys don't mind (I hope this is allowed), I've gotta plug Nick from moviemodelkits.com. The guy is a breeze to work with, emails me constantly with updates and progress shots. He's also incredibly fair with prices. So if you're interested in having him do work for you, don't hesitate. He went beyond what I expected to complete Fluffy for me so he's totally the man! Check out that Alien chestbuster kit he's got for sale right now...along with an amazing glow-in-the-dark Screamin' Dr. Channard. They'd so be mine if I didn't have other priorities. WOW!

But what about you guys? Anybody else into model kits? If so, please please show them off!

Guess they have a positive use after all! Never even considered that. Sorry to hear about the Terminator figure...that sucks. So...can you play Galaga on that thing? Cuz if you can I'm coming over!

And Larry, WOW! Those kits are so badass! Do you still build them? I noticed your website hasn't been updated in a while so wasn't sure. And is that skinless Julia kit still available? I've never seen it before. What a beauty! Holy crap! Really NICE work. I'm completely blown away.
