did a whole set of vinyl Star
Trek kits. I think they would have sold more of them if

age 13, Harryhausen soon became the protege of Kong's creator,
Willis O'Brien.

the niceties of painting, facial expressions, clothing etc. With
no detail unexplored, everything is clearly explained with step
by step photos.
