There you go hook him up with a pistol!

I got that covered. What do you think of wash rag material for the Burke and Virdon pants?

 

[kfog41]

No they MUST be ironed on.

Gotcha! I will have to be very carefull doing that then

C ya later... I have to start getting some chores done around here... my grass has been growing to much with all this rain.

I'll check back later...

I "think" that might work, but then you'd have to deal with dying them. I would think that material could just be bought. Ask Jess.

 

[kfog41]

OK, that sounds like a good idea. Have a good one!

 

[enaud]

Angel-thank you very much for all of the help & info!

I think that this wash rag may be too light to pass for a virdon shirt. What do the forum members think?

The color is a little off, and also the texture is too nubby. Keep looking. I still have to find my pants that are hiding from me--I think they would be perfect for the shirt. I need to find those and photograph it so I can get your opinion.

Here is Burke's shirt. What do you guys think? I will add fray check to the inside of the brown sweater material to prevent any more fraying. After my husband told me get a life, it seemed most fitting to use his shirt.

Hey-Hey-Hey

Looking good there Jess.

My eyes always follow Zira when she's in the film. I didn't realize they had so many ape kids at this scene.

I love this shot of gorillas with their whips.

I have not seen this angle of the cage before. Check out the architecture of the structure. This would be quite tall if you made one for 1:6 scale.

I like the cage picture, you can also see a bomb in it's structure. A prelude to what was to come?

 

[stickman]

STICKS - Hurry back to all of us here in Ape City.

FYI buddy - I spent the past 4 hours with a utility knife in my hand making your ape wagon pieces "pretty”.

I'm about to spend another 4 hours now fixing up the other ape wagon for SNICK. You guys are going to love the details in it! The jail bars outside (and inside) of the wagon look great!

Back to whittling, scraping and cutting...

Wooo-Hooo! Sweet, This is great news indeed!

I'm thinking on packing up all my apes that have been living in my living room and trying to break down the set tomorrow. I don't think I'm going to be able to save it.

But we'll see.

That doesn't sound good, Sticks--I hope you have taken a LOT of photographs to remember it by.

I didn't notice the bomb before you pointed that out.

 

[stickman]

I have a SS commercial spot to remember it by, one you will be able to see hopefully at the end of June when they post it on their site, then the world can see it's grandeur.

 

[Jessica]

That will be a sight to behold.

 

[stickman]

That will be a sight to behold.

I sure hope so, I can't wait to have everyone here see it, and tell me what they think.


I need to get some more DVD's and when I finally do, I'll make you a copy of my "A World's Desire" project, with the Star Trek / Planet of the Apes crossover.

 

[stickman]

I didn't notice the bomb before you pointed that out.

The design has no architectural purpose only an esthetic one. Everything in film or the mise en scène has a purpose. To me the bomb looks pretty distinguishable, so I wonder if that is what it really was intended to be.

Hi Sticks! Too bad you couldn't part the set out, then number the pieces, and then store them in your attic.

Sure enough Jess! Way to go on your husbands shirt. I also thought that the texture was too thick and "nubby". and that the color lacked a little reddish tint to it. Is this what your husband did when he saw the shirt? and what you did when he asked about it?
