  Hi Steve 
  well here is silly week again !
  and i havent produced any of the coocoo ideas i have because i have been so busy with work,it has kept me away from the hobby .
  Last year i sent in the Harley bristol creem model ( in case you dont remember me ...i was way from the net and ARC  for a long time.about a year )for silly week ,but this year i was cought with my pants down !!!
   
  i would like to offer this contribution non the less in the hope that you might want to use it .
  This last year i have been exproring other modeling .things like figures and sculpturs .ect  but i am happy to report that i am back at my fist love ....ACs
   
  the Story
   
  Matin the Moterhead Clown
   
  Martin was  born Oct 31 1961 in Lethbridge Alberta, the illigitiate son of a ahlcolic traveling circus clown with a fetish for art deco, and Klezmer clarinet.a 300-pound Irish flamenco dancer with epilepsy .
  Martin was abandonded at the door step of a church across the street from a beaknick club wrapped in a black schawl inside a very big shoe!
   
  Martin was adopted by the family of an out-of-work  Avro Arrow engineer and noved to California in the 60s.  He grew up in a normal suburban home but by the age of 12 Martin could not fit in this setting anymore.  He left home to join a traveling band of porno stars.  After a few years in second-rate porno flics, Martin decided to ''start his life over ''.
  He moved to Quebec City where he got a strait job as a gas station attendant but this did not work out as every time someone asked him to ''fill it up'' he would end up spilling gas all over the trunk *  
  *(for those how are too young to remember, in the 70s most cars had their gas caps in the back of the car)
  By the 80s Martin realized that he had to find his own niche in the world so he decided to start his own buisness by combining his two loves: Metal Music and killing small amimals;  he started a extermination / hard rock birthday balloon-o gram service called ''night critters ''and now lives happily in Montreal.

   
  The model 

  this started out life as a 8'' Mc-Farlen Action figure :: the spawn clown
  after i took it apart ,i re-assembled it without any  the action joints in the wrist.ect 
  because this figure is made of all things vynel ....i had to fill in the joints with crazzy glue .lots of crazzy glue!!  After the glue dries for a few days i use a hefty coat of Humbroll enamel paint as a surfacer ,when that dries i sand that down  ,and then paint everything over acrylics( Tamiya ,testors ,pabeo ,folkart ...)and then shade with artist oils .........i am hoping to try this on a wwI AC model some time soon 
  hope you like it  
  Fern
