In keeping with the black-and-white appearance of the 1954 film Creature from the Black Lagoon, Jeremiah finished Aurora’s 1/12 scale kit of the Gill-man in grayscale with black and white craft acrylics mixed into varying shades over gray automotive primer. “It was a local craft group 3-hour paint challenge,” he says. “I spent six hours cleaning up the seams beforehand!”
