Chas



And here's Chas - Morph's best friend and sometimes annoying mate.

Morph



Here's Morph from Take Hart. An old favourite that Calvin is in to just now.

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus


Calvin made this when staying at his Gran and Granddad's house over the weekend. He took the picture himself.

The model is out in Livingston so I'll try and take a photograph the next time I'm out there.

Here's the latest wee offering from Calvin. Homer Simpson and Bender from Futurama.

Family Guy chicken






Calvin was staying at his Gran's this weekend and, whilst tidying his room, I found the chicken from Family Guy. You know, the one Peter Griffin is always having an enormous fight with.

Any way, he's got bits of fluff and things on him as he was laying in amongst other bits and bobs so he's a bit hairy. But he's still pretty cool.

Pumba




Another work in progress here.

Pumba, the warthog in Disney's Lion King, is a favourite character of Calvins. He might not finish this one but it still looks great as it is.

King Kong (again)






Calvin is now making a version that sees Kong standing on top of the Empire State building, throwing punches at passing planes trying to shoot him.

I also found a close up pic of the previous posts Kong's hands.

King Kong







Here's a start to finish of King Kong. Calvin is right into King Kong and Godzilla at the moment.

Anyway, he made this Kong the other day and it's brilliant, even if I say so myself.

Godzilla!





Here's Calvin's version of Godzilla. He's been watching the movie recently – mostly the scary bits – and is making the model. He still wants to do some work on it's back – apparently he should have wee fins or something, so it's not quite finished yet.

Looks good though.

Warthog





Following on from making Pumba the other day, Calvin has decided to make a more life like warthog. He used his Lion King extras DVD for his reference and is making a pretty good job of his new model.

Pumba – The Lion King




Calvin made this model of Pumba from The Lion King out of a wee blob of blu-tac whilst we were out visiting my mum at the weekend. Pretty sweet as he didn't have any reference other than the zillions of times he's seen the movie still whirring about in his head.

Eve from Wall-e




Here's Calvin's quick version of Eve from Disney Pixar's Wall•e. I think he's going to have a shot at Wall•e next.

Bitzer Aardman model.





Here's Calvin's Bitzer. He's the dog from Aardman's Shaun the Sheep. Calvin has entered it into a competition on the Shaun website and also the Wallace and Gromit site too.

The model he's made even has a tiny wee clip board with a picture of a sheep on it and he's got a pencil in his other hand.

Calvin wins a Shaun The Sheep prize.




Calvin recently won a prize on the Shaun the Sheep website. He made a cool Shaun that I uploaded for him and he won a signed Aardman certificate, a Shaun DVD and got a really nice wee note complimenting him on his models that are on this blog. He's delighted and has now mounted them and hung them on his wall in his bedroom.

He's now made a Bitzer (the dog from Shaun the Sheep) that he wants to enter in another competition. I'll upload pics when he's finished.

Kang and Kodos from the Simpsons



Well, it doesn't get much more basic than this. Whilst changing a light bulb in Calvin's room he spotted that a bulb looks not unlike the glass dome around the space aliens Kang & Kodos in the Simpsons. Clever.

A model/toy of Carl from The Simpson.





Here's Calvin's version of Carl, Homer's workmate at Springfields' nuclear power plant.

Napoleon Dynamite's honeymoon stallion.




Calvin got a ride on a horse and acted like Napoleon Dynamite instantly.

He kept saying, "hey Deb, can you take a photo of me on the horse, real quick?"

Pixar and Disney Cars. Snotrod model.




Here's Snotrod. One of Calvin's larger models.

The Simpsons PS3 game model





Here's another character from the game Calvin's been modelling. I don't know what his name is so, if you know, leave a message to tell me.

Simpsons Game PS3 alien model





Calvin has been making the aliens who Bart and Homer fight in the game. As well as Kang and Kodos there's a bunch of other aliens they battle and here's what's been modelled.

GTA IV Liberty City toy/model






Our friend Steve, who works at Rockstar North, asked Calvin way back in August last year to make a 3D model of a logo for a shop seen in the new Grand Theft Auto IV Liberty City game.

He sent the initial sketch to Calvin and after a couple of days it was finished. I've never put it on the blog site as I'm not sure that Rockstar would have approved of any images being shown pre game launch.

Anyway, the game's out now and you can see the Thor Toys shop in the actual game and the model Calvin made. Pretty sweet.

Killer Dolphins






These are from the Simpsons game Calvin has. They come out of the water ad try to attack Homer and Bart. One has a shell wrapped around him which the dolphin uses as a loudspeaker.

Bartman!






Calvin made me this and charged me an arm and a leg for my troubles. This character is so small you can easily make out Calvin's finger prints on the plasticine.

Spaceship/Cafe




Calvin has made a rotating restaurant that appears in the background of the Simpsons movie. He thinks it's a spaceship on legs - I didn't try to explain what it actually is.

Space Alien



Here's a wee mutant that has a go at Homer and Bart in the Simpsons game.

GTA Liberty City. Grand Theft Scratchy.




Calvin has made Scratchy as he appears in the Simpsons game. He's even got his broken bottle in hand, ready to slice you up. God bless those guys at Rockstar for their quest to promote good, wholesome family values.

Otto from Disney's Cars




Calvin often picks a character or even an object that doesn't really play any significant role in a movie and makes it a few times out of Plasticine. Here he has made a character from Cars called Otto. I can't even remember him in the film, but, Calvin tells me, he was.

Another Lard Lad



I've lost count of how many of these Dude's made now. Loads.

Work in progress


Here's a little look into one of Calvin's tins where he now keeps his stuff he's working on.





  1. Spaceship legs
  2. Another Lard Lad
  3. T-Rex leg
  4. Krusty the clown in his work-out gear (in the new Simpsons PS3 game)
  5. Another T-Rex piece
  6. Gromit
  7. Space mutants

Simpsons





More from the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror shows. Here Calvin's made the giant Lard Lad the comes to life and terrorises Springfield and also, from the episode where Bart transports like in The Fly, we have Santa's Little Helper and Snowball put throught at the same time and out comes a two headed cat/dog and also their two butts. Bart says "you can be Lisa's!" to the double bums.

Jimbo Jones



Again, this character is just started but, here's Jimbo Jones - one of the bullies in Springfield.

He's also made Dolph's t-shirt. I don't know if these will ever be finished but I like them as they are anyway.

Flanders the werewolf



He's just started this one but it looks good already.

In one of the episodes of The Simpsons Flanders turns into a werewolf and Calvin is really in to them at the moment. We've caught him a few times watching clips from American Werewolf in London on You Tube!

Halloween Simpsons


Continuing with the eerie Simpsons, Calvin has drawn the Zombie sign that rotates outside Krusty Burger. He's drawn the same on both side then put it on a straw so that it can twirl like in The Simpsons game.

Calvin's making Halloween decorations




We are going to be having a Halloween party and Calvin is making some models to be placed on some of our tables in the house to get everyone into the spooky mood.

Here's Lard Lad from The Simpsons but changed into Halloween mode.

Iron Giant 3 - he's finished!





Calvin finished the Iron Giant this week too. He made the figure as if he was sitting down leaning back against the scrap yard cars like he does in the movie. The reason is that the Plasticine doesn't have enough strength in it - the legs are too slim to hold him up.

He's already started to take it apart just as I got the camera on it.

Panic!




There are two characters in Disney's Hercules movie who are the servants of Hades. They are called Pain and Panic. Not sure why, but Calvin has started watching the DVD again this week and made Panic on Saturday morning. Looks cool.

Old style Daffy Duck



Calvin made this for Sharlene in she says about 5 minutes. I think it's taken from on old Bugs and Daffy cartoon that was on the Cartoon Network or something.

Wednesday, 8 August 2007

Grey Matter




Another character from the Ben 10 cartoon. This is being made for Ryan-man.

Lightning McQueen



By special request, here's Lightning McQueen.

Stinkfly 2



Calvin is going to town on this one. He's even put jets of green puke coming out of the things on his head!

He's progressed it well from the previous post seen here.

Tyrannosaurus update



More shaping done and some jaggy teeth.

Omnidroid



Calvin used to draw loads of this metal robot from The Incredibles. His wall in his room was cover in all the Omnidroid version from Omni 1 all the way through to Omni 11 as Syndrome had created in the movie.

Anyway, for some reason, Calvin has started making a model of one and it looks great.

The beginning of a large Tyrannosaurus


This is early days on this model but his tiny hands are pretty cool.

Pikachu



Here's another request, this one from Kevin Woolard.

Some mad Pokemon guy that his kids love.
