Here's a model I did while ago. But I have not seen too many A&C .

The only other resin model kit I am aware of is this...

Neither one of these kits feature good likenesses of Bud and Lou.

Alex Lopez's head sculpts are the best I've seen of Abbott and Costello.

Man that sucks. I would have liked a nice statue....

Re: Abbott and Costello meet . . .

Well here is a nice statue... unfortunately it's sitting in a park in Patterson N.J.

Hey Jungle...that would look mighty nice in your backyard! It may effect the status of your marriage however , among other things!

I had to laugh when I read your last post, Jerry...

I only wish I had a back yard, I live in New York city. My better half puts up with enough with my 1/6th collection, let alone a life size Lou Costello. Now that would be a deal breaker for her.

The statue is actually part of the Lou Costello Memorial Park in Paterson , NJ. Actually not too far from Manhattan.

You're right Darth!

... and then, I guess you could say it was in my back yard, figuratively speaking.

There are also these Esco statues made in the 70's that you can find on EBay from time to time...

The church I attended growing up. St. Anthony's in paterson New Jersey was also Lou Costello's church. It was cool that his name was in the entrance as one of the parish contributors.

Hey neighbor!! I grew up across the river in Fair Lawn!

Re: Abbott and Costello meet . . .

Hey, I-man... Hope you are feeling better!

It's funny you said "Hey Neighbor". Bud Abbott called everyone "Neighbor" because he had trouble remembering names.

Hanging in, thanks. Still no answers, despite seeing another Dr today.

Thats awesome! I'm guessing you went to the theater on RT 4? Where they played Rocky Horror all the time?

Re: Abbott and Costello meet . . .

Sure did!! Saw my first movie ever there [Beneath the Planet of the Apes]
And worked security there for the Rocky Horror years.

Re: Abbott and Costello meet . . .

So guys, is there a definitive A&C documentary/biography/Movie ?

Re: Abbott and Costello meet . . .

There are two books, that I am aware of:

"Bud and Lou the Abbott and Costello Story"

[ame]https://www.amazon.com/Bud-Lou-Abbott-Costello-story/dp/0397011954/ref=pd_sim_sbs_mov_3[/ame]

"Lou's on First" Written by Lou Costello's Daughter Chris

https://books.google.com/books/about/Lou_s_on_First.html?id=rx8ieZAZY4MC

And there was a TV Movie starring Buddy Hacket and Harvey Korman
