| The Son of Frankenstein |
The work began on this model May 20th
| I drilled holes into the trees where branches will go. |
| Here I've put wood putty in between the trees. |
| Here I used trees from my park to create the background. |
| The fence I made from tree parts. I carved the grave stones from oak. |
| I decided to go with my pine and tree limbs and branches instead of making a form from this part created. I then put the branches into the holes I drilled in the limbs. Alway trying my best to match of texture to look realistic. I used more wood putty to thicken up the joints between the trunk and the branches. |
| To create in my backdrop of a forest I used deep blues and greens. Then mainly because I love bright vibrant colors, almost surreal and again impressionistic I covered the bark with reds, oranges and yellows. I wanted this forest to be in stark contrast to the grey cemetery with all of greys and browns. |
| The finished cemetery without the backdrop or Frankie. |
| Here's a cool shot of Frankie hanging on the sidelines, before he's asked to join our scene. |
| And here's the combination of our forest and cemetery. |
