Mad Labs Mike Parks King Kong

#1 Post by Jon LeGrand »

I recently finished this Mad Labs kit by the late great Mike Parks. I made a custom base for it and sculpted the tree and vines.

And here is a black and white edit so it looks more like the movie :)

Personally not a Kong fan.
But that is a great little vignette you made there.
Really fun, and well executed.

Wonderful. I love the 'fun feel' of this scene. An outstanding little vignette.

Only just spotted this.

Amazing work as always Jon =D> =D> =D>

Also loved the video 8) - because a lot of your posts are in sections I don't visit that often, I hadn't realised just how many of these pic/video posts you'd made :shock:

I've bookmarked this as a reminder to go back and look at a lot of your other stuff now :D

Thanks for posting :beer: :thumb2:
