Just done the resin Daze miniatures King Kong, quite happy, although I am thinking of more light grey on his back and shoulders

That's a great looking model, I've been thinking of picking it up myself. You did a nice job on it, but I think you may be right on the gray on the shoulders thing. Nonetheless, thanks for sharing.

I have that at home all primed up to paint for a customer. I have no use for one myself, but am seriously considering getting one just because it is so damned well done!

Where can one purchase this King of Kongs? Google is full of suck.
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

Dazed Miniatures do not seem to be in production anymore - RLBPS used to make them, but currently their What's New page says, "Dazed Miniatures was a partnership and it has been been ended by one partner (the Sculpter) withdrawing the licence to produce any of the figures we made. RLBPS still owns the molds but can not run them."

Pity, they made some neat prehistoric mammals as well as this big Kong.

I have a pair of their sabre-tooth tigers, had dreams of buying mammoths and some of their other coolness, but they're all gone, at least for the moment. Meh.

Given he's the King, I'd expect that he'd be more of a genuine silver-back. Seriously.

That first photo is a stunner.
