Silvia Tampi's Big Fatty Swing!

A custom sculpt by Silvia Tampi of King Kong vs Godzilla 62 which I painted and made a base for.

That looks great!
I love the fun bright colors you used. Really compliments the look of the figures. I also like how you angled that base backward a little so he is basically holding godzilla straight up. Nice engineering to help combat gravity over time.

Seeing that shelf with all those Kongs is amazing. What a wonderful collection.

Thanks Trevor! Yes I figured it would balance much better if I did that angle. Currently it is held to the base with pins but not any glue.

Super cute and toothy sculpts! :D

What a collection - did you commission these from her? :lol:

Edit: She needs to add a sculpted homage to the original Empire State scene :drool2:

Yes, I commissioned her to make the figures but I made all the bases. They were very expensive so I am keeping myself to one figure per type of Kong

Masterful, Jon. Its an amazing collection - the KK Escapes and KK/Twin Towers are my favorite ones of the lot. :drool2:

(BTW - I will unveil my own "Kong on Empire State" - tomorrow! :wink: ) Watch for the new thread! :D
