The Body Snatcher - Karloff bust by Jeff Yagher

#1 Post by derekc62 »

Originally conceived by Typhon Studios, this bust of Boris Karloff from the 1945 film The Body Snatcher was sculpted by Jeff Yagher and is available through Mark Warthling's Pestilence Labs.

It's 1/4 scale and solid resin with an excellent likeness of Karloff atop a tomb, shovel in hand ready to dig up another corpse for the local medical school.

The fence pieces are 3D printed and are exact in detail to the cemetery fence in the film.

If you're interested in how it was painted I posted a "Work in Progress" thread here: https://theclubhouse1.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=125876

For the first time, I added a little something extra - something I've been thinking about doing for a couple of years...

Absolutely fantastic paint up and detailing Derek. Time to pop open a cold one, sit back, relax, and enjoy ogling it! :alcoholic:

Thanks guys.

Have to say, I'm pretty pleased with this one. Of the things I've painted, it might be the one I'm most content with.

Thank you Brad.
I've recorded a tutorial on paining skin that's I'm hoping to post to YouTube once I've completed the Lon of a 1,00 Faces kit I'm currently painting.

Thanks very much everyone.

I had a game-plan to paint this one and I stuck to it (for once).

I'm happy that the attempts I made at trying different approaches worked as I hoped.

Stunning! The best example of this beautiful sculpt painted up I've seen, the skin tones are epic!
