Remember the Gummers (played by Michael Gross and Reba McEntire) in the very first Tremors movie?

Hi CC,

Check out the gallery here:

Skank-master converted a set of figures for the Tremors folks.

Shalom,

Maksim, I wandered at the Skankgames site, found the article on wasteland rusty sheds out of sandwich plastic, and now I'm hungry!! Think I'll kill two birds with one stone and get some beer and pre-fab packaged samiches at the Quik-E-Mart!!

Please keep in mind that this is just a preliminary (and very rough) sculpt, for the purpose of getting the correct proportions for the Graboids' body:

The body section ended up being 5 3/4 inches in length (14.5 cm), and about 2 inches (5 cm) maximum width. I suspect that the head and jaw section will add another 1 1/2 inches (3.5 cm) to the overall length.

When I finally make the sculpt in GreenStuff, I will try to make it less conical and more grub-like. This Sculpy model was just to get the basic length, height and width.

This is what I'm actually shooting for:

The head portion is next. Wish me luck.

Thanks.
