My boss came into my office about a month ago and said "do you think we can make a 20 foot king kong from start to finish in 21 days?"
:huh:i started to laugh......but here we are 23 days later(2 days to drive it to New York City from Los Angeles) and its up in the middle of Time Square right now for the premiere of the movie later on today.
i have many pictures of the process it took to make the kong on the following link i think you all might get a kick out of it:

our boss said "save your files for god sakes" because there is a chance they might want to buy another two off of us, to be sent to Tokyo, and one to Universal Studios, Florida.
