Gremlins 2: The New Batch, *** Mohawk Gremlin Replica ***

replica movie prop

As a kid, I was kind of fascinated by Mohawk - I could stare at pictures of that crazy Steve Wang design (and paint job) for hours, and I used to draw him all the time. Since then I replicated quite a lot of different Gremlins designs for my collection, but I never « dared » to make a full size Mohawk - measuring my painting skills to one of Steve’s masterpieces was a bit scary. Yet, year after year, literally thousands of bad copies of the original Mohawk Kaiyodo kit surfaced, resulting in lots of shrunk, deformed, horribly painted kits, and I finally got disguisted by that design… and I procrastinated even more. Until this week: I finally finished my first attempt at a Mohawk paint job… I tried to match the transparency layers and thousands of spots; it was sure tough to do it justice... and It’s quite something to have him in front of you, even for a Gremlin-jaded eye like mine :) Enjoy the pics!
