The Mummy by William Paquet

When you hear the name of William Paquet, I am sure
that many of you think of the great pieces he had
done for companies like DC Direct, Bowen Designs,
and ReelArt Studios.

But I thought it would be fun to look at some of the
other things he had done. I haven't (personally)
painted many of Williams pieces. I look forward
to the day I can take some time and paint the
beautiful Vampire kits he had sculpted. And of
course, I still need to pick up the Green Haze.

But here is one that William had sculpted for
Geometric Designs (a garage kit company that
produces licensed models)

The likeness to Boris Karloff is uncanny, a very well
designed and executed sculpture!

Still the best Karloff Mummy ever sculpted outside of Maddame Tussauds.
