Tony McVey's Stuck on You

#1 Post by Squidy53 »

A dinosaur kit in every meaning of the term.

Next in my stack of shame is the now old garage kit 'Stuck on You' sculpted by my kit hero Tony McVey (along with Joe Laudati), designer of the delicious Salacious Crumb (https://www.starwars.com/news/tony-mcve ... interviewa) and sculptor of Sy Snootles, the Rancor and Gamorrean Guards for Return of the Jedi, Mr. McVey returned to bring Jar Jar (forgive him), Geonosians, and Yoda to three dimensions for the prequels, and then once more to The Mandalorian.

I loved this kit because, at the time, it was the only one that came close to Tumak's impaling of the Allosaurus in One Million Years B.C., a scene I loved since I was a kid. The kit is a little rough by contemporary standards but I kinda like that -- it seems fitting given the subject. Having waited 20 years to finally get to it I still don't think it's quite finished. I'll live with it a while but there's probably more to do on the Allosaur.

Red. You painted her hair RED. :drool2:

I love this kit - never got to build it up, but if anyone ever sculpted the perfect female form .... THIS one is IT! :bdrool:

(Beautiful build-up, too. :wink: )

Now lets see more of your dino-builds please! :D

Very cool.

And the youth, mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover's fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be! -Puck
