King Kong

Post by vacant »

A fellow model maker kindly sent me a metal kit of the Empire State building. It was out of my normal building zone, but I had to build it. It knew I had a wreck of a Sparrowhawk that someone had sent me to restore, but I had not got around to it. It isn't the type used in the King Kong film, but it was all I had. It took me another two weeks to find a gorilla in a charity shop. So here's a bit of fun.

I love it.

You were lucky to find a gorilla at all, let alone in 2 weeks...

Wonderful bit of fun, and not half respectable too.
