Thanks everyone for the encouraging words.With this being my 1st 1/6 scale POTA project,I really want to put the effort into this so that so that it would be worthy to be amongst all the other seriously kick ass creations of the ape city thread.So again,you guys"(& gal's) input is apprecieated & inspiring!
I'm hoping to be productive this weekend so maybe I'll be able to post some update pics within the next week.
JJ-I don't see why it wouldn't float,lol.It is wood & what MDF is there,it is sealed with the paint so there's no chance of it absorbing water.You would have the same displacement of water as a real raft would have,you know
Kfog-Jess is correct on what MDF stands for
Angel-man this is crazy,but the direction that you mentioned of possibly doing this,is very similar to an earlier approach that I contemplaited!
I was consittering this though-if I were to make a mold of this to reproduce it.I was going to look into this expanding resin that I ran across some years ago.It's a 2 part resin that that will expand several times it's volume(making it porous,like foam)& is self skinning(where with the expansion,it will pick up all of the details from the mold)....I suppose the best example would be to think of a Nerf ball.I do believe it is avalible in both soft & rigid densities but I don't know how it would take to being painted.Like i said,it would have to be researched a little.Regardless,it would float for sure.

Great minds think alike!!

Angel-That's the stuff.

Haha!Yep,that stuff can get heavy.Luckily with the project at hand,I'm only dealing with a 10" octagonal shape that's 1/4 thick rather than a 3/4" 4x8 sheet
You would be suprised of all of the different "flavors" it comes in these days.They actually make a MDF lite(sounds like some cheap domestic beer,lol)that is lighter than your normal run of the mill MDF.

Well.........I thought it would give a little more contrast than the black top of my coffee table plus give a little continuity with the paused dvd in the background(for reference)I just wish that it wasn't my only light blue towel...chances are it wouldn't have looked so funky.....becuase that one was fresh from the bottom of the hamper
besides...there was no way that I could have gotten some of those angles sitting in the bathtub

You guys have to check out that Mego Thread and see the ape wagon that Scott B., as a 12-year old did!

o Jessica, I couldn't find the images after following that link. I didn't know where to go.

Wow that is a pretty amazing story, and the stuff he made as a kid is great! The wagon is on page 11 btw, for people who are wondering.

Thanks for posting the link, Angel... nice collection. It's been awhile since I scanned those photo albums. I can't believe my album is still posted. It's been such a long time since I posted those pics.

There is a feedback thread in the commerce section that keeps record of positive (and negative) dealings between Freak board members. I don't know how often it's used. I have a feedback number of 2.
Here's the link:

What do you guys think of this sweater that I'm going to sacrifice for the chimp inner sleeves of my outfit? Do you think the color is OK? What about the weave? Should I keep looking?
Here is a photo snagged from Evilbay showing the detail of the inner sleeve:

In the For Sale section there is a feedback thread on the top of the page.
You can leave a +1 there for each succesful sale of a product.

SpawnFan your collection is impressive...most impressive.
ENUAD - If you make copies of the raft consider me in. Sadly, all of my backpacks are being utilitized for another project.
JESS - The fabric looks like the correct material. I've pictured the sleeves having more red in them, otherwise, it's perfect.

Hehe thanks snickertown. Keep an eye out for a major update in a few weeks when my Hurricane Vader is in place in my fifth detolf.
And by then I will also show off my Planet of the Apes figs I recently bought.

The powers of ESP work!!! Cornelius, my neighbor, heard my calls. He called me today. He would like to start up on my appliances in NOVEMBER! I told him I didn't need a fire on it...that it could wait until January, but he says end of October/early November would work best. I AM SO THERE!! 
I'm am so working on my shoes this weekend!! I am going to use a pair of beach shoes and build them up.

I am going over to my girlfriend's house and we're going to rehair one of her Megos. As far as 1/6, I want to start on Snick's C suit. Probably tomorrow or late tonight. It's too quiet in Central City!!! I keep checking but nobody's on to chatter with.
