One of the many joys of the challenge is finding new figures and new suppliers. So as Mr Lee is a new supplier to me, one of our sponsors and has KyleC heavily involved, I popped over to the site for a look.
The site is full treasure. Some very beautiful resin figures and busts. Now I'm a man how knows some of his limits and large scale art pieces are beyond my ability. However I did go shopping and bought a couple of really cool looking figures, delivery was very speedy. This is one of them.
This is the Gorilla King and stands at 40mm high (note to Kyle that there is a typo on website. The website states it's 1/10 scale. it isn't and it never occurred to me that it was, that would be massive in a King Kong style). The figure is very beautiful, well cast and with the right amount of detail. Better than that I'm really pleased with how it came out. Some of my best work. I appear to have my eye in this week.
Enough waffle on with the pictures. The dinky little crown is great
I have 2 final requests. If you've not been to the Mr Lee website go and visit. If you have been what did you buy. Good luck to Kyle in this enterprise, they have a distinctive offering that is very high quality.
Unexpected! Wonderful sculpt and beautifully executed.
ReplyDeletecheers, I love him
DeleteNow that is a BF Gorilla 🦍
ReplyDeleteAwesomely ferocious!

DeleteI love the feral warpaint.

DeleteAnd I thought Kong was scary, this beast beats him by miles at least! The basing is awesome too.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I love him
DeleteI'm sorry, Martin, WHO did you say was a strange man...?

This is extremely cool - all very DC Silver Age!
Think we are a pair together
DeleteWell of course he meant Big Freaking Gorilla!! Clever idea and very nice work!

Thank you. I have a beaver lumberjack but could work out f and g
DeleteGreat model and painting; and very original
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteOne of my two BFGS that didn't quite make it off the ground in time was a Big freeking Gorilla. Not nearly as nice as yours.
ReplyDeletethanks, a gorilla fight off
DeleteOh wow, just great! What a crazy figure!
ReplyDeletemad isn't it
DeleteWell that's just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCheers mate, high praise indeed from the bonus round god
DeleteGreat figure, great painting.

DeleteI love it mate, and you did a cracking good job on it! I really do enjoy this figure ( and we plan to make more to join him in 2018 hopefully! ).
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you do with the Beaver though.. that was a very interesting piece, and one that I had to chat a lot with the sculptor to get right.. including posing for the figure to get the right stance for it :D
Oh and the website is updated! Many thanks for catching that for me! I had done a lot of copy and paste when first creating the site last November :D
My pleasure, I really love the Gorilla and will be back for some of his mates when I've been paid. More like him would be awesome. Beaver looks good, plan to do him in next couple of weeks. No problem with website, it was an obvious mistake. The arrival of 7 inch high gorilla would have been terrifying. Good luck with it all, you have some great stuff
DeleteThe arrival of a 7 inch gorilla for £10 would be shocking from both sides mate ;)
DeleteAnd yes.. more of the Apes are planned and the WIPs look great already. Was always the plan to do up a frostgrave gangs worth of them ;) But we will see how that gets on ;)
Will look forward to the apes. Whole variety of uses for them from IHMN to Necromunder
DeleteBrilliant looking gorilla and yes the little crown really finishes him off.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers mate
DeleteStunning work Martin. I love the facepaint and groundwork. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteCheers. Think it's my favourite piece from all the challenges I've done
DeleteGorgeous work, Martin! I like this fellow from his coat to his bizarre gear and wonderful war paint. The basing is really good too!
