Stan Winston RIP

Stan Winston passed away last night. Details here.HERE

All the people I grew up looking up to are going away - first Gary Gygax, now Stan.

Farewell and hope you never run out of latex up there...

that is indeed sad news.

A couple of guys from the MilMod world work for him (one\'s a studio supervisor) so I imagine this news will make waves through to the World expo

a smart and clever guy.

This book about his and his studios work is well worth a read:

I\'ve got this book and it\'s a great read as well as pretty to look at (and inspiring).

This is true.
Whenever I see some of my favorite celebrities, or someone from my pass, I feel my mortality a bit.

At 62 he was still a reasonably young man too.

Rest in peace.

Oh Crud.

62, is nothing of an age these days.
Still he was a great contributor to entertainment.
Stan, Many thanks for the creature effects in \"The Fog\", one of the only horror movies I ever enjoyed.
