In this dynamic issue, Thad Rhodes has a howling good time with Nocturna Productions' "Cursed!" kit, and Rick Cantu butters up Simon Lee's latest mutant creation, Butterball. It's said that "only God can make a tree," but Mike Wallace does a pretty darned good job as he sails to Skull Island to create an amazing diorama with Weta's Kong vs T-Rex statue. For those modelers who love their monsters "old school," we have a duo of classic X-O Facto monster duos! First, Steve Riojas whips Jeff Yagher's Fritz and the Frankenstein Monster into shape, while Jeff Camp turns the color knob down on the ol' TV set to recreate Yagher's Bride of Frankenstein and the Doctor in glorious black and white. For those of you who prefer their kits a bit more colorful, take wing with the "Belles of Gotham." Lunatic Fringe's sexy pair of crime fighters gets all soft and cuddly with a hard and gritty city setting courtesy of Jason Walker. Taking you step by step in his creation of two custom anime style Playboy Bunnies, Lindsey Tufts, Jr. make his AFM debut with Bunnies Are Forever- after reading I think you'll agree with that Bondesque sentiment! Some of our readers may prefer their curves a little more dangerous- as in the curves of the roads toward Bartertown. That's where you'll next find Steve Riojas as he and Toi Ogunyoku's "Little Big Man" enter the modeling Thunderdome. With autumn nearly over, there's little left in the fields except lost souls, and Mike Falcigno makes hay with Moses Jaen's zombie hunter in "The Harvest!" Finally, to come full circle, you've already witnessed the gargantuan modeling job Mike Allen provided us for the cover of this amazing issue, now you can follow his step by step process in the creation of this tribute to the Toho Titans from "The War of The Gargantuas." Get ready, get set slappy, 'cause you'll see double after viewing this issue of AFM!.
