Like your photos, Kfog!

I may be working on another 1:1 scale gorilla bandolier. These are fun and easy to make.

Hi Jess, thanks alot! I always wanted to make a 1/6th scale bandolier from scatch!

 

[Kostka]

I mounted a HT gorilla head (that i got from the awesome Darkness Predator) onto a sideshow body, with HT Ursus hands, custom Hasbro clothes and self-made (and crappy, until i find better material) gauntlets.

And here's Prefect Barlows chest piece. It's not perfect, but this is a guy with zero sewing ability, so I used fabric scissors and glue. Thanks for the material, Jess!

I think I've read this entire thread over the last two days. So much talent in here, so much Ape! Great stuff.

Kostka, I think those are looking great.

You convey action and a back story in your figure. It makes me imagine that Cap has been fighting with Virdon and Burke.

I know what you mean about sewing. My Star Wars customs have forced me to learn to sew.
But I also sew the sideshow gorilla guantlets to make them tighter. I turn the cone-shaped fabric inside out, sew along the edge then turn it back. You can apply the same technique to custom fabric guantlets.


DeathlyFighter, Welcome to Ape City!!!!

Thanks for the tips. I'll probably try it out soon. My girlfriend has a sewing machine. Maybe she can teach me.

Welcome aboard, DeathlyFighter.

Edit: Yak....I was just checking out a picture of the actual HT captain and realized I need to paint up the belt and add the backpack. I know what I'll be doing tonight in between fixing up Law Givers "hair".

This will be a perfect Baby Zaius.

Welcome DeathlyFighter!

Michael barlow looks excellent.

You can fake the gaunlets a little bit by sewing some top.stitching before you sew the seams together. I think Sideshow does that.

 

[Kostka]

Thanks, ill keep that in mind for sure.

The latex gauntletts that are on my custom gorilla on ebay have the correct ridge pattern as in the movie. They look and work great for these figures! I do not know if Matt Sotis is still making them though!

Happy Turkey Day, you bloody baboons!

Same to you, it's a good thing that I am wearing elastic wastband pants! I am eating way too much!
