Here's an unusual monster kit. Based on a mythical creature (a giant snapping turtle) that supposedly inhabits a remote region of Indiana. It is prominent in the Indian legends of the area and was supposedly last scene in the late 40's. There is a whole Wikipedia write up on it if you care to learn more about it. Here's the link: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_of_Busco)

I picked up this kit up at Resin Realities (http://www.resinrealities.net/catalog6.htm). The kit is well cast and didn't require much prep work. You have an option of purchasing glass eyes for this bad boy (recommended) at an extra charge of 10 bucks ( a little steep in my view). The kit version is pictured above. My version is in the slide show below. I added the torn fish net to add a little more interest to the scene,

A darker version of my kit which resembles the box art a bit more closely I think.
