Oh, heck yeah. Good paint job. How did you do t he highlights? |

*in a sing song voice* How much for that tentacle in the window? Yeah, so it's not as fuzzy as a puppy, so what.:) Love your game reports and figure/terrain collection, always look forward to them. |

Very nice work.
"This nut thinks he's a vampire! He's killed four, maybe five women! He has drained every drop of blood from every one of them! Now that is *news*, Vincezo. News! And we are a newspaper! We're supposed to print news, not suppress it!"
Loved the two movies, loved the show, own all of them on DVD. |

Your paintjob has evoked an awesome likeness. Always loved that show, never failed to scare the beejeezus out of me. |

I have all the movies and shows on DVD too. Excellent work on the mini. As a side note, I don't remember why I looked up Johnny Depp on IMDB the other day, but it lists him as playing Carl Kolchak in a remake (currently in development) of The Night Stalker. |

Awesome--one of my favorite TV shows--back when the network would sign off after the late show Now for a correct scale rag top mustang to go with. |

Very nice job! I loved that show too! |

Darrin McGavin was great as Kolchak and your beautifully rendered
figure evokes his spirit perfectly. |

I also loved that show and have the series on DVD, too. Fans of the show say it was the inspiration for "The X-Files". Maybe so, as Darren McGavin was in a couple of "X-Files" episodes playing the FBI agent who started the X-files in the first place. I saw "Kolchak" more as the inspiration for "Supernatural" because, unlike "The X-Files" where Mulder and Scully merely discover a conspiracy/aliens/other weird stuff and cannot do anything about it, Carl Kolchak actually went out of his way (like the Winchester brothers of "Supernatural") to find ways to eliminate the threat set up in an episode. Yet nobody would believe him. By the way, great vignette, Pulp Girl! |

That show scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. It'd probably scare the crap out of me now. Nicely done. |

It's on Netflix, have at it, I have! |

Blast from the past! I was too scared to watch it when I was young (not to mention it was on past my official bed time.  ) |

Chris Carter has mentioned that the "The Night Stalker" was the inspiration for the X-Files. Great figure and paint job. You need a yellow '65 Mustang to go with it. |

What a great idea, and a beautiful job on the mini and terrain. Jeez, he really looks like Ralphy's father. I'd love to see/read and after action report. |

Growing up in the UK, I'd heard about the show & how influential it was by reading about genre cinema in the likes of 'Fangoria' & 'Hammer House of Horror' magazines.
But I didn't get a chance to see it until it got a VHS release in the late 80's. I absolutely binge-watched it!
'Kolchak' was so lame in so many ways – so formulaic it was basically the same show every episode, with a different monster – and no real 'mystery' element, either – strange stuff occurring? It's a monster, simple as that.
But it was just so well done!
Darren McGavin was just brilliant and everything was played straight.
They did very well with the budgets, too.
It's an unfairly overlooked genre gem – great to see a project based on it! |

Thanks, all. I'm really glad you liked it. More to come! -Mila

Beautiful painting and great show.
I can't watch Kolchak without thinking of BB guns and leg lamps; is that wrong? |
| Privateer4hire | 15 Jan 2015 2:45 p.m. PST |
Wasn't the leg lamp vital to his defeating the Rakshasa in Horror in the Heights? :) |

Loved that show too ! That show scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. 79th PA, you were not alone in that claim !  |

And it had the great character actor Simon Oakland in it. |
| Bob Murch | 17 Jan 2015 6:41 p.m. PST |
I obviously have a huge affection for that show. Then there was Night Gallery and those horrifying made for TV movies like Cat Creature and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. |

Dad and I watch a bunch of episodes recently, so it was fun to paint this figure.

Darren McGavin played Mike Hammer in the 1950s tv series, so maybe Mike finds out that the the gorgeous woman, aka "the Face", he keeps running across is _preternaturally_ beautiful, and a succubus or a vampire to boot! |
's first experience with 1:4800 scale naval models.
