Greetings from Liverpool England
Hi gang Well my names Ian, and i'm a sculptor/mask maker from Liverpool, England, found the site through an interview in Rue morgue, looks great. My interest in fx began with films like the thing, got me wondering how'd they do that, one of the first 'things' i ever made was the spiderhead, love that effect Well anyhow hello and glad to be here

Greetings monstermaker, Welcome to the Outpost. I believe I saw pics of your models on MySpace...the spider-head looks damn awesome! T

Cheers Yes that was me, second thing i ever made, not 100% accurate but it was enough for me I might redo it, reading the Rue morgue articles was a trip down memory lane, i love that and the blairmonster, theres a few versions of the thing to choose from, i'd love to do them all! Is there anywhere on here to show stuff like that?

Sure, if you send me pics of your THING work I can add them to the Fan Images section. I really hope you decide to do more models from the film. You shoulda seen the stuff they did at Universal's Horror Nights for the Outpost #31 walk-thru, it was incredible. Unfortunately not many pics around yet of these monsters... T

from what i've heard they did a great job, wish we got cool stuff like that overhere

Pics of monstermaker's Spider-Head are up in Fan Images section now: http://www.outpost31.com/vistar/fanimage2.html Nice work Ian! Looking forward to more, T

Wow, that head is just creepy but damm good at the same time.

Todd and Monstermaker seem to spend a lot af chatting alone these days....we might keep them in the eye. Yo, Monstermaker, why don't you take a seat down the recroom. We would all sleep a little easier if a blood-*test*-('") is taken. -btw: are you a Liverpudlian or a Toffee? As for me, I'm a Ajax-man-. Be very welcome. :wink: Cheers.

Thanks for the welcome! I don't watch the football at all i'm afraid, my family were all liverpool fans, i must've missed out on the footie gene though.

Coming from Liverpool and don't have a thing for football? You must be human, brother. :D Enjoy your stay here, monstermaker. :wink:
