July 2, 2015: [In Memoriam] Shigeo Uchida – The Fortress of Necros – The Charm of Modeling

Speaking of Shigeo Uchida, he is famous for sculpting the Necros Fortress, an 80’s omake toy. I think I first learned about him in a magazine called “Mandarake Trash №04”.

Now that Shigeo Uchida has passed away, I decided to write an article about the appeal of the Necros Fortress as a way of mourning.

Necros’ fortress, which I collected as a child (kept as it was then)

ネクロスの要塞

If I look for it, I might still find it, but for the time being, I took out the Necros fortress that I had put in a cardboard box for the first time in a long time. Let’s take a look back at its many memories, along with the beauty of its form.

This is the sculpt of Nekuraga, the big boss from the first four games. It’s a big boss, so you can see that it has a strong flesh.

Necros, who is actually a bad guy, is the main character.
