here is some pics of the finished product. I will be improving on the parts and posting the model in parts with build pics of each part soon, here in this thread.

Wow this is quite impressive! And you didn't use any 3D-software to design it?

thank you! no, I hand drew it, and had to make a bunch of bends and corrections when I built it.im going to redraw each piece and present the build pic and redrawn model page here.

Hey, that's one mean looking critter! I can see the stop motion at work.

This looks great! I can imagine that it was some hard work to get the organic shapes right. And even harder by hand. Wow!

Cool! How is progress on the King himself? I recall you trying to get the hair txture just right.

Impressive!

kong is really hard. I still have to learn a lot more.

Excellent job on a very complicated shape. And you did it the old fashioned way, to boot. I like the texturing, it helps to hide the paper seams. Congratulations on your extremely impressive results.

I thought, that I would make a blank figure, with textured add-ons to glue over, much as they did for the musculature of the actual kong model, it seems to give it depth. now I have to go look for a texture that will print out in BW perhaps in strips to lay in like a ghili suit, snipped and trimmed and glued down. im not sure. and I also want the kong I make to be printed in color, in dark root beer brown, as a big foot.
its very hard.
thank you all for the compliments.
