It's time for my Halloween build and this year it's a buddy build with modeler Marc Fraley of the Cyclops from Xplus models. This beautiful kit is a replica of the creature seen in the movie 7th Voyage of Sinbad and was a creation of special effects wizard Harry Harryhausen. The model is beautifully detailed and is a faithful recreation of the cyclops. In this video, Marc and I review our plans for the build followed by a review of what comes with the kit . I then proceed with painting and assembling the creature.
The build will conclude in part 2 with the construction of the cage, painting the figures and the display base. Marc will be feautring highlights of his build and then a final reveal of both projects will follow.
