HELLFISH montgomery burns
november 2006
Private Charles Montgomery Burns, expelled post-war for greed and repeated attempts to murder Abe by proxy, as seen in the flashback in the Simpsons episode "Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"".
As I finished the Abe Simpson, I thought it would be cool to do some of the other characters from the episode and maybe even a playset to display them on.
Burns started with the basic figure with the hair, waist and trouser cuffs Dremeled off. Using the Aves epoxy putty, I started building the collar, hair and fatigue pants.
The next putty layer consisted of pockets and the sweater draped over his shoulders.
And then finally the sweater sleeves hanging down the front.
In the episode Burns spoils Abe Simpson’s shot at Hitler with a stray tennis ball. I cut small sections of wire and held the vertical and horizontal sections together with masking tape.
I crossed the two sections and then added a drop of CA glue at the intersections.
After that dried, the wires were cut to fit the styrene frame.
The final painted figure.
