As I the episode which you covered me, your primer are absolutely perfect for model kits. Shake for at least 1 min. Great coverage. Great episode gents. Have fun.
Fab video, and thank you so much for the mention, I almost fell off sofa when I heard my name, and your paints have helped so much, my paintwork looks so much better using them. Can't wait to purchase more, excellent quality 👍
The good old days of oil paints n thinners, paint ya kit n get a headache, great video as always guys, Joe's a great sculptor of animals used to paint his stuff many years ago for a company called Nature craft, venue looks great be my 1st time n really looking forward to it 👍
Another educational and informative chat thanks chaps! I have had many a chat with Dave but it is only via the vids I have come to realise his and clearly Bill's tremendous knowledge of the GK business. Thanks boy's
Dave. As a 'collector' I would really appreciate 'box art' but many of the sculpts I guess to not have a box in the traditional sense particularly as myself as I buy finished painted. I would be great to have a C&F Studio box art on a single sheet. Another thought! Would you consider a certificate of authenticity? Sculptor, painter, manufacturer signed by yourself not suggesting a numbered sculpt but at least if I get run over by a bus my wife will be able to sell on😒
Fantastic to listen to and see Rachel. One of, if not the finest, painters (Artists) in the business ridiculously modest and such a nice lady. Always pick up my sculpts in person as we are made so welcome and of course we get Dave N's full stand up routine during which Rachel being a lady often retires to her studio! Great interview by Bill.
What an interesting episode! Bringing yet another dimension the wonderfully informative Mike. Working as a volunteer at the Manchester Air & Space Museum aka Science and Industry Museum for 40 years as an Gas Turbine Engine Tech my curator gave me the pleasure of handling Lieutenant Uhura's uniform for a Star Trek exhibition, not being an Airbrush Artist this is the nearest I will get to doing anything productive in sci fi. We also had a range of commissioned Martin Bower Thunderbird models which were fantastic. Keep up the very informative talks.
So sorry to hear about 'Dave' I feel I knew this talented artist. Really enjoy a chat with Dave (and Bill) at the studio and living on the far side of Manchester it is fantastic to listen in to studio chats. I do hope the wonderfully talented Rachel is included sometime (apologies if she has I am wading through the backlog. A studio of all the talents!
You mention in a lot of your podcasts that kits are available but you never say how one can get one, is there a website with models and pricing? Also i have tried contacting Dave through various facebook postings as i am interested in purchasing your back issues of your UKGK magazine. How would i go about purchasing them from across the pond? thanks
@@carl2232 If you don't fancy the trip up there, on 28th September the UKGK show is coming to Madeley, so saving you a run up there. Make sure you bring plenty of cash, though, as you'll be spoiled for choice.
Bill, 'studio' please not workshop. It makes it sound as if there should be a couple of mechanics hanging around. I always bull Dave and Rachel's establishment up because in truth, it is a studio and a damn fine one too.
Little correction. The Hattie Jacques model was based on her in Carry on Doctor, though she was the Matron in the film. In the Carry on Matron film, she wore a slightly different outfit.
Good talk and interesting subject near and dear to many of us. A few points of clarification: The 1/6 scale Karloff-Pierce barber chair kit (full figure) originally produced by Janus was re-issued by John's Models of Florida. They also have a "Hideous Sun Demon" that Janus never put into production. The 1/4 scale twin-bust version of the make-up chair kit was originally produced by Mike Calvert of Typhon and is now produced by Saul Alvarez's Silver Screen Icons. The Henry Hull transformation (Werewolf of London) is done with a series of jump cuts as the character passes behind a series of columns in the garden, so not that technologically challenging. Mike hill sculpted the Janus full-figure kit and the Geometric bust. Jeff Yagher sculpted the most recent bust originally released by Typhon and now available through Mark Warthling's Pestilence Labs. The Frankenstein meets the Wolfman kit - based on the photo shown - was sculpted by Mike Hill and released by Forbidden Zone. it's 1/8 scale. Lastly, here's Karloff and Pierce on "This is Your Life" (@ 13:40) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SPeLaurq-2k.html
