Ira Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) FRANKIE FLYPOGGERSTEIN! I thought it would be Fun to make a Comic Frankenstein Figure for my October Fantasy Modelers Club Meeting. The Meeting was a few days ago, so I will try to get Frankie ready for the next FMC Meeting & Halloween! I started with a Vintage Super Fuzz glue bomb... Here is the Un-assembled Fred Flypogger Body. Still in pretty good shape for an original. Real Nice Eyes! So in Great Frankenstein Tradition, I start by cutting off the top of his Head! More Coming...

Ira Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Nice Forehead! I cut a strip of plastic and bent it with Needle Nose Pliers to get this square shape. Then I glued the end with Zap-A-Gap, Green Label. I glued an extra plastic strip in the joint to make it thick enough to carve down later. Here is Frankie's first Head Fitting. Looks like we have a good fit! More Coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Frankie's Legs! I got these Legs from a Wallace Figure in a Wallace & Gromit Anti-Pesto Van Kit. I cut the Legs off with a Cut-Off Wheel. I already used their Heads in the Rocket Van Project... Next I glued the Legs together. Then I glued them in place. Here is Frankie with his new Forehead and Legs. More Coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Frankie's New Boots! I am using Wallace's Boots from the Anti-Pesto Van Kit. I cut off the top section from the Boots to fit them in the Pants Leg. Next I cut the bottoms of the Pants Legs so the Boots will fit inside. I also cut about 1/4th of an inch off the top of Frankie's Head. It was just a little too big. Here is Frankie with his New Boots on. More Coming...

chunkypeanutbutter Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 It's like some kind of Rat Fink thing watching you do these figure builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 How are you going to do the electrodes for the neck? There doesn't seem to be much neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Flat Top for Frankie! I have been carving on Frankie's Head and I almost have it right. I cut a piece of plastic to fit his Head and glued it in place as shown. I applied some Squadron Putty to add more shape to Frankie and fill in the rough spots. More Coming...

Ira Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Too Tall! Frankie looks a little too tall to me. Have to lower him a bit. I marked the areas to be removed. I cut the areas out with a Cut-Off Wheel. Here is Frankie with the height adjustment... More Coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 How are you going to do the electrodes for the neck? There doesn't seem to be much neck. Good Question! Looks like there is room for one on the left side only... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Pretty cool! I think I'm about to start a Freddy Flameout pretty soon myself. Bought the thing a decade ago, and then decided I just couldn't live with the head, which doesn't look much like the box art (which actually looks kinda cool). But just today, in the Halloween section at Walmart, I found something I think will make a much better head for Freddy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Arm Positions... I glued Frankies Arm on. Then I sprayed Frankie with a couple of coats of Filler/Primer. Next I drew a "Cut Line". I am going to cut this wedge shape out of the Arm and glue it back later. This will lower the Arm so that it isn't so high. While the Arm is off I am going to do some work on the right side of Frankie's Face. I started by cutting and fitting a piece of plastic to fill in the top of Frankie's smile, on both sides.

Ira Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Frankie's Hair! I added more Squadron Putty to Frankie's Head. I almost have the shape the way I want it. Now I'm starting to texture the Putty to look like Hair. I also drilled a hole in his Head for his Head-Bolt. Here is the other side showing the final mouth shape. After some Sanding and adding more Putty it's starting to look like Hair up there. More Coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hands! I removed a wedge shape from Frankie's arm pit and glued his arm back. Now the Arm sticks straight out instead of up. I cut down the Baseball Bat to resemble a Flower Vase. I filled the bottom of the Vase with scrap plastic and glued the left Hand in place. More Coming...
