THE PHANTOM ( The Ghost Who Walks )

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 !!

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

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
