Thread: Kong is still King

  1. #1

    Default Kong is still King

    I was on a mission at the local shopping centre and did my usual flyby of the games shop there (Games World to the locals) and look what I saw hanging on the rack whispering 'Buy me, buy me!'.

    Sold to that man for $28.00!!

    My old Kong with my new Kong. New Kong is primed and ready for painting but I'll have to do something about that base!

    I may even have to scale up my roof top and reprint it to accommodate my new Kong!

    You could have at least shown him taking a bite out of your new Zeppelin!

    Reading these posts is costing me money. One Giant Ape by Wizkids - purchased. I shall paint him up and troll the archives for some rules.

    I always thought that King Kong more was kinder than Godzilla

    redfox shared Kong recently on the French forum "Le Cirque Volant" with a magnificent landscape of buildings :

    I remember stumbling across this forum years ago. Being a non-french speaking Aussie I had to grope my way around the menus. I did manage to download a few goodies but I never saw this post!

    What a great setup and what a stunning mat. Thank you for this link!

    Finally able to paint my Wizkids Giant Ape that Biggles downunder first brought to my attention late last year. Used a Wizards round base and a bunch of Army Painter basing stuff to "fix" the irregular shaped base that it comes on.

    Might have gone overboard on the basing materials... and I just noticed a cat hair painted onto his upraised arm... stupid cats. I need to blend the poor attempt at highlighting his knuckles and VOILA! Click image for larger version.

    It was fun to try dry brushing and highlighting on a "mini" that I could actually hold with my bare hand. Thanks YouTube videos! And thanks for the idea Biggles!

    Thanks Dan... too bad I have no idea how to post photos. Not matter which orientation I edit them in, they are coming out sideways - a first for me.

    If an admin sees this, feel free to delete the last 2 photos to save server storage.

    Among the cosplay community, there's a saying: "No costume is complete without cat hair."

    I usually find the cat hair stuck in the clear coat. Real pain sometimes!

    Thanks for the refreshed link to the King Kong mat. I was able to download and convert to PDFs. I'll be able to use those in my scenario. Rep incoming!

    Looks awesome. I also printed out your graphic file onto a mat. Haven’t got a chance to play it yet, but it looks great - so thanks again for that!
