    Hammer Horror: Peter Cushing as Dr Van Helsing Custom

    Okay, story time. Where to begin?... I've always wanted a Peter Cushing Van Helsing ever since I was a kid and first discovered the Hammer Horror Dracula series. When I found one on eBay recently I got into a last second bid war and bidded balls to the wall $625 and lost . So I decided screw it, I'll make my own. I already owned a Baron Frankenstein by Distinctive Dummies which looks great, but I wanted to modify it. First job was to have made a copy of the head and I have to give a shout out to Austin Hough for his flawless copy. Next, to Lyn Stahl of Metalhead Minis for her work on modifying the sideburns and incredible paint job on the head, especially the eyes �� Here's the run-down: The head as I mentioned is a recasted Digestive Dummies Baron Frankenstein with modified sideburns. The fur coat belongs to Oswaldo Mobray from The Hateful Eight by NECA, The suit is from FTC George W. Bush Gray Suit Variant. The white scarf and blue tie are from CTVT. The shoes are from Paul Clarke of Dr Mego. The stake is a accessory from Buffy The Vampire Slayer and the hammer not sure I think its just a 1/9 scale hamer. Thank you to everyone and their talents in helping me add this gem to my collection

        This is a beautifully done custom, and I like how it all got put together. Speaking of Distinctive Dummies, and Hammer films, I’ve been wanting a DD Abominable Snowman but can never find one anywhere, Cushing was in that movie as well.

          Nice one! I never would have thought of it, but that Hateful Eight coat really works well used in a totally different context.

            I now realize the gold head available at CTVT is based on a character played by Peter Cushing, but it doesn't look exactly like him, it;s gold and it has no hair. Does anyone know where I can get a proper Peter Cushing head in Mego scale? Does anyone make them? Please, can someone help me out with this?
