Grandpa Munster Howard S Lifesize Display That I Finished

[Monteburns]

I was recently able to finish my Grandpa Munster life size display.

I painted the head in the classic Boo Berry cereal colors & hand laid the hair on the head , brows & also added lashes.
I would never have painted sculpted hair on a life size display so I put in the extra effort to make him look alive.
The eyes are glass.

The tuxedo was customized to look like his classic look. I also hand made the pendent.

Holy crap it looks like he's ready to start talking. Very cool. I don't care what anyone says, he's the one and only Grandpa Munster.

Everything you do is great MB, but this is awesome.

The only problem I see with it is it's not hanging "upside-down" from the ceiling!!! :lol
Great job Monteburns, very impressive!

I love it! I grew up being a HUGE Munsters fan.

Now you need a Lilly, she did more for me than Marilyn.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments on this paint up.
It was a really fun project that everything seemed to work out well with no problems whatsoever.

I have always been a diehard Munsters fan & they are actually my favorite Dracula & Frankenstein.

I like having just the Grampa & Herman as a set & I doubt that I will be making Lily or Eddie.

I also recently upgraded my lifesize Herman with high end eyes & tweaked the hair/paint. When I get a chance I will throw up some new pics.

Fantastic setup and display! Has all the right touches! Can hardly wait to see Herman.

Here is the updated pic of Herman.

You can check out the rest of the pics in my old Herman Munster thread.

[Helo]

Simply amazing. Great work!

I also grew up a huge fan, albiet via reruns, but this is fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful work! The Grandpa is absolutely perfect! It looks like you hit the pause button on him mid sentence. Even knowing it's a sculpt, every time I look at the pics i think it's a real person

You could have posted the Grandpa and Herman pictures and said they were newly discovered promo/behind-the-scene pictures from the show. They look so good it's scary!! :lol :thumbsup

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Really well done all-round. They look real.

 

[Monteburns]

Thanks again to everyone for the super positive compliments.
I was a little surprised to see that there are some old school Munster fans here. :thumbsup

I should have taken some pictures of the two standing together but they are a lot of work to move from where I currently have them displayed where the source of light is not very good.

Herman stands around 7 feet tall with his boots & Grandpa is standing around 6 feet tall.

love it, you've done a great job, they really look the part.
Grew up loving the show, and loved the recent famous monsters mag that covered the show, lots of great pics and info
