Jeff,

I caught the Dolly Parton pair bit. So funny!

Bob
p.s. definitely Frankie and the Bride!

Most excellent! Your collection should grace the pages of Sport Rocketry. Perhaps with a few pictures of one going thru the build process!

Yes, the Monster and the Bride is what "the Vixen" and I have decided to do. I'll paint the groom, "The Vixen" wants to paint the bride. "The Vixen's" skills are much better than mine. "Mum-Rock" and "Joan Jetpack" were her creations.

I absolutely agree with this. I'm sure Tom Beach would love to have an article and lots of pictures showing how some of these creations are made.

"The Vixen" finished The Bride in about 4 hours today. It would have taken me at least a week and it wouldn't have looked this good.

Now for the groom.

With "Elsa" finished ("The Vixen" has named the pair Elsa and Boris--for obvious reasons,) I've started on the head of Boris.

First I think I'll extend the height and then flatten the cranium--to make it took more like a stereotypical--yet accentuated--Universal Studios monster. To do this I've simply cut a band from a 24mm engine block tube. After it's glued on I'll blend it in with Squadron Grey.

I have some those little pink plastic brains left from when I created Rock-Zombie and I may make a cavity in the top of the head and drop a brain in it--leaving it exposed and visible from above.

Before I use the Squadron putty on the head I first soak the yellow band in thin CA to harden it and make it workable.

I have been having problems getting ZAP/Pacer adhesives locally for the past 2 years.
Jeffy, do you order or get locally in your area ?
Most hobby shops in my area only have Bob Smith (private labeled) which I find inferior, especially on the bottle type.

My favorite CA products used to be CG Jet/Super Jet, but those have been gone for over a decade.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !

I bought the ZAP products several years ago at the Hobbytown USA near me. I don’t know if they still have it. I would imagine if the Prop Shop in Centerline(?) doesn’t have it then no one does.

You’re right about Jet—it was the BEST CA.
