Started off just building a basic "saddle tramp" for a buddy of mine and he began to look like Festus so much I changed directions! I have added spurs since these photos were taken but it's all done from memory.

[Tank Mechanic]

Beautiful job,Fred.You going to do the rest of the cast now too?

 

[dioman]

Wow...that's really good.
Funny thing is....right now I am playing bass in a classic country band and the lady singer used to tour with Ken Curtis until his death in the early 80's.....did you know he was one of the original Sons of the Pioneers as well as an actor...he had a very nice voice....look him up on youtube.

Nice fig man.

Miss Kitty's gonna get upset when she sees his boot in her chair! That's a great figure you made!

 

[hondo]

Really good looking figure. I like the headscuplt and what you did to the vest.

 

[pukingdog]

Just too good, you've turned out ol' Festus in all of his rustic glory. Another of the long line of supporting actors that gave westerns real atmosphere.

 

[Mlatch221]

Nice work Fred! You can almost hear him drawing out the vowel sounds when he speaks... "Weeell, Maatheeewww". :lol

 

[Tommo]

Excellent work, great backdrop too.

 

[kllysheros]

The backdrop I built last summer for the Triad show. It was a setting for my vampire females. For this scene I gave the photos an amber wash but luckily Festus is obstructing the horror subject in one of the pics!
