Mike SanGiovanni
Rockaway, New Jersey
Mike created an entire room for GeoMetric’s 1/6 scale vinyl Son of Frankenstein. The diorama consists of a scratchbuilt base, walls, and door, as well as Aves Apoxie Sculpt rats and a skull Mike borrowed from another kit. He also added a bucket from a dollhouse collection and a chain. The door is made of balsa planks and the pull was fashioned from a picture hanger loop epoxied to the wood. He sculpted an iron hinge from Aves Apoxie Sculpt, then cast two more. The bolts are heads clipped from finishing nails. The walls and floor are coated with water putty for texture. He painted details such as the metallic finishes of the door clasp and chain hook with Vallejo acrylics.
