ORDER YOUR PROFESSOR MODEL KIT : ON SET CANDID BARON SHOT AND THE ZOO GANG


#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY: An actors life is full of variety, IF they get the work and opportunities. Peter Cushing swapped the grim and gruesome settings of the Asylum hospital during the making of his last appearance as the Baron, in Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell, for the sun and glamor of Cannes, in the South of France, when he made 'The Counterfeit Trap' an episode of tv's 'The Zoo Gang' in 1974. 


FROM HIS 'Helen Hayes' wig, to this dashing blazer, tie and tan, that's quite a jump! The Zoo Gang was a great but short lived series, that was part of Lord Grade's ITC company, that also made quite a few other tv series that Peter appeared in in the 70's...anyone here seen it or remember this episode?? The Counterfeit Trap was first Broadcast in the UK on 3rd May 1974 and was 5th episode of the short lived series . . .



#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY: Just received these images, which I have made into a banner for you to sample. It's the amazing 'The Professor' Model Kit, from the people who produce the Cushinques, comic book, #THEPROFESSOR in Italy. This figure is one of a VERY LIMITED EDITION of just 50!

REMEMBERING DAVID PEEL : MAKING OF BRIDES GIFS AND MODEL KIT!


#MONSTERMONDAY: TODAY we remember actor DAVID PEEL who was born today 19th June 1920. There are few who have made such an impact as Peel. He only appeared in ONE film for Hammer films and I believe only appeared in one film with Peter Cushing. I have a memory of him turning up in a theatre production with Peter in the 1950's..but I'll look that up, in mo...




ONLY ONE ROLE, one film and yet, enter VAMPIRE HAMMER into google images, and he will appear in most of the pages. Despite the success long after The Brides of Dracula was made...audiences felt a little cheated that it was a DRACULA film, without Dracula!....I suspect that Peel wasn't impressed with either the film or the subject matter. 







AN UNHAPPY MAN, with troubles and issues. You probably know, he left the industry early on and went into antiques and real estate, but life for Peel was certainly difficult. We remember him today though, for that one Hammer film and the impressive performance as Baron Meinster, the boy vampire who certainly pushed the boundaries of vampire film!

CALLING ALL MODEL MAKERS AND FIGURE COLLECTORS : THE PROFESSOR!



NEWS: AS YOU WILL SEE from the short promo posted above, work is well under way in the creation of #THEPROFESSOR model kit. The character is based on the amazing monthly 'must get' comic art book that's hitting the newsstands and comic shops in Italy, THE PROFESSOR! Working on the figure is ace sculptor, ROBERTO DE MEO with colour work and painting of the model carefully created by the talented and skillful eye of DAVIDE DECINA.


WE WERE VERY PLEASED to have prize copies of the last issue of THE PROFESSOR in a PCAS Competition a few weeks ago. NOW the very likeness of Peter Cushing is being captured and enhanced in what will soon be a 1/6 cm scale model kit in resin. 


THE MODEL KIT WILL be a LIMITED EDITION, only a small number available for purchase. But, for those of you who would like to scoop one up, for your very own, we will give any news, as soon as we hear of it's availability.


MEANWHILE... issue FOUR 'SIRENA' of #THEPROFESSOR hits the stands from MAY 1st 2017. We have an exclusive peep at the cover below. MORE images and details about the model kit, in our expanded feature at the website now... Many thanks as always to Andrea Corbetta and Davide Decina!
