Kitbashed Cthulhu

 Dale Bigford sent over this nifty project- a kitbashed Cthulhu idol

"Kit bashing" is a term the FX team on the original 1977 Star Wars coined. They took a lot of battleship model kits, toys and mechanical parts to cobble together parts of the ships and the surface of the Death Star.

This is a bag of sea creatures from Target, a dollar store bag of Halloween skeleton warriors and a Vampire bat from the "Todd Mcfarlane's monsters" playset from the 90's (admittedly harder to find but I found one in a second hand store.)

I weighted the base so even though the wings should unbalance and tip it over it sits upright defying gravity. And I weighed the socket with cadmium magnets so its slightly magnetic.
