The Valley of Gwangi


Recommended Posts

Star Ace big vinyl Gwangi kit, part of the Ray Harryhausen collection, lovely kit that required minimal fettling to build up, Couldn't really resist it, its a bloody big Dinosaur fighting cowboys, and an Elephant, and a little horse, and a sprinkling of Harryhausen magic.

All primed and ready

Fantastic job,same as Pete used to love the stop motion in those films...

 

This is fascinating,this is from 1940 and show him at the start and you can compare it to the 60's etc...

I watched this in colour as my folks were setting up our first colour TV, flicking between this and Dr Who, which was on at the same time. Lovely job of the model, and the sculpt really captures the look of it too :)
