Do you remember" The Phantom the ghost who walks } Comics ?
With his dog Devil ,and his horse Hero
My husband came to Australia when he was 8 years old. Not knowing the language,
He mainly learnt to read and write through the Phantom Comics,( as he hardly ever went to school)
Now many, many, decades later his dream is to build his cave and then the Phantom himself
I think we will start with the cave, through photos,
as we did every thing ourselves
Lot s and lots of rocks
The phantom might be 400 years old - but this lovely old piece of wood is over 60 years old -right for the phantom sign
The Phantoms Cave is Finished at last
Now for the Phantom !!
Our son taking him home to paint
The outside undies! My wife dyed them and painted stripes
My sister -in - law Cheree fixing the outfit She is 5 foot 2, the Phantom is about 6 foot 7 inches
Making the gun belt
Our son attaching his mask
My wife Rhonda has finished the gun belt
Our phantom looks great at night , quite eerie actually with very dim lighting
An illusion, A dream is realized
The Phantom in his Cave
