What we have here is the latest in the superb series of busts, From Jayco, depicting the main characters from the classic Universal Studios, Monster Movie the Brid of Frankenstein. as with the other Three busts, Dr, Frankenstein, Dr, Pretorious, and the Bride, the Sculpting Honours go to the Fabulously Talented, Mark Vantine, Like the other busts the Likeness and pose on this one are absolutely spot on, you can almost feel the Monsters pain as he is rejected, by the one he Loves. and once again Mark has crafted a base, that sits perfectly with the subject matter, I have said it before ,but I genuinely mean this Mark Vantine, is one of the few Sculptors, for Whom I anticipate with relish his next work, because I know the subject will be something special Something else this one shares with its partners, is the superb quality of the Casting, I have been able to start painting all four busts within ten minutes of taking them out of the box, the casting as usual is down to John Diaz, the owner of Jayco, and one of the nicest guys you could wish to meet, (just tont take any tequila if he offers it you, its 1000% proof) I would be very surprised if most Collectors dont have this or at least one of the other busts, in there collections allready, if you would like to get hold of any of Jaycos fine kits, Click here to go the Johns Website, tell them Wolfie sent you. if you would like to see how this kit went together click here
