Finished my Grail!

[Mitchellmania]

After almost 14 years of searching, I finaly got this kit
from Resin From the Grave the War of the Gargantuas kit.
I've never seen one built up save for the b&w pic in their
1993 catalogue (which was very helpful for octo's tentacle placement)
This one's a keeper. I hope Mike produces more of this kit- molds are still
there. Well, here it is:



I had a great time building this kit, some patience and planning but I'm
happy with it!!
Thanks!

Well Mitch, let me be the first to say.....FANTASTIC JOB.

The colors look great, and I really like the nameplate with the splashes of water on it.

I have never seen this kit before, thanks for sharing.......

Thanks guys! I love the movie, when I saw the kit way back I knew I had to get one!! My only complaint about the kit is the name plate is very large other than that Awesome kit!!

I've seen some good stuff from you recently Mitch, so for a grail kit was expecting something very good.....and was'nt dissapointed

Just the sign looks like it's had more attention paid to it than most full kits.
Some very nice work. I bet you could have some fun lighting this too in different ways.

Congrats on your GRAIL score....what a great feeling!
Love this kit.....was there alot of cleanup/resculpting?
This from WAR OF THE GARGATUAS movie, right.?..only one movie with those two ??? I should know my kaiju history.
Looks fantastic!!! One hellofva underbite on the Gargantua....that octopus (aka Devil fish) also appears in King Kong vs Godzilla.......cool

Thanks again for the comments!
Bill, there was some prepwork, which I don't mind. I had to resculpt many of the suction cups on the tentacles, and figuring out location and
position of them was a challange. Yep Gargantuas movie. A sequel to
Frankenstein Conquers the World.
