Ymir
Twenty Million Miles to Earth
Just another one of the marvelous creatures that Ray Harryhausen created during
his time of creativity and design.  This was a production which came out of Italy,
maybe the reason I like it so much.  


In this story, we have a creature that came from another world, landed in some kind
of tiny capsule and grew to mammoth proportions in a little amount of time.  Ah
Hollywood, ah worse, Italy...they can do anything they please and get away with it.

I had a wonderful time creating this diorama and maybe someday I'll create a story
for this model.  But I have my doubts.  I to think of him just the way he is, that'sa
Italian.  Now enjoy the pictures I took and the collage I created in Photoshop of Ymir
and the elephant.

PS:  I had to recreate this page because it got lost somewhere in the reshuffle of the
entire site.  I'm sure once I learn Flash some I'll add some do dads to jazz up this
page some more, for now it is what it is and that's what it is.
Meet
YMIR
the mad monster maker
Back to homepage
Feet like a chicken.
Mustache on his lip.

An orange crest
on his head.  And 3
fingers on his hands.


I wonder if
Mr. Harryhausen would
have colored him
this way.
In the movie YMIR
fights an elephant.
That's as big as he got
in the flick.  


To kill the beast,
t
hey shot him down
from t
he top of the
Roman coliseum.
