Title: (Commercial) Crooked Dice: Giant Ape - IN STORE
Post by: uti long smile on 12 December 2016, 02:25:27 PM

Here's a preview of our Giant Ape. Sculpted by Ernst, he'll be cast in resin in three pasts. The render pics give an idea of scale - that's a 50mm base that he's sitting on. Hopefully out in February, but we'll keep you posted.

Not sure if this was best here, or in Colonial Adventures - so apologies if it's a mis-post!

Watching the trailer for Skull Island I am pretty sure this is the right place  :). Awesome sculpt!

Only this one at the moment. The Sinister Mystic is 28mm to eye.

Glorious to see a gorilla WITHOUT any gratuitous cybernetics for a change. I'll have to get one for Darkest Africa, and maybe another one for Frostgrave.

That looks great. It's nice to see one that isn't too over the top.  I think I'm going to have to get that.

Excellent Karl. Think I will have to have one of those to lead my Cave Wars simian tribe...  :)

Looking at the giant ape, I'd say the Sinister Mystic isn't going to be 28mm to eyes much longer ...  :D

Very nice work!  Love the pose and the design.  Big enough to be a scary threat, but small enough that it's believable as a real animal.

Here's some pics I took today with the Ape painted by Andrew Taylor (nice to dust off Grimm's Jungle too). Some scale shots too. This should be released on 01 February for £8. It's a three part resin kit.

Love your stuff.  I even found a way to include the Crooked Dice Paranormal Exterminators in my Gangster Gallery.  Richard

This ape would make a fantastic opponent for 1/72 adventurers...
