Save the Planet of the Apes!!! - PIX ADDED!!

[Jessica]

None other than the three they have already previewed. But...I'm sure the rest of the apes will be coming sooner or later.

Sideshow should have released the news before the holiday vacation or right after New Years.

Here are 10 of my 11 sculpts, guys!!

Here is the re-haired General Ursus with the Hasbro helmet. I think the helmet is just a tad too short, and not really sure if the havelock would look ok once it's on a figure...

 

[Jessica]

And here is my brown underdress! I consider it done with the exception of the neckwrap, which is just my sweater that I'm going to sacrifice.

Angel were you the one that sent me this photo? I don't remember.

Wow, Jessica. You did a marvelous job. They all look great, especially lined up like that. Great job!

Maybe a longer mane and a meaner brow?

Great work.

metal rasp?... You might need a tool similar to this:

I've worked on resin models for years and have a few versions of rotary tools and multiple attachments. It does save a lot of time.

Have fun.

Thats some masterful paint jobs DP. Do you do commission work? I have a 1:6 scale Geometric Clash of the Titans Medusa that I would love painted one day, and I know I can't do it.

Look what I stumbled upon, great for the fatman mutant and Dr. Zaius!!

SS' - the DEAD - "Mall Santa" figure also comes with one of these. It's pretty cool and hides very well.

Ooof...those models look great. Did you sculpt them all?

I do have a dremel now. I just have to climb up the kitchen counters to get it because my husband put it way up high so that the kids (probably me too) would not have easy access to it. So that's why I usually just whack off the dried Apoxie with a small hammer and chisel, or have at it with a metal file.

No , I wish I had more sculpting skills like ya'll. They are model kits. I usually cut them up, reposition them, mix and match multiple parts from different kits to make unique figures. I do have to sculpt back in the details after I rework them. However, I didn't have to sculpt it entirely.

Thanks!

Wow stickman, That is quite a compliment. I have done some commission work in the past. However, my "day job" has been so time-consuming or rather life-consuming, I haven't done much for a long time....sorry.

Its been great to buy the Sideshow statues and Hot Toys figures that are already painted for me. I do miss working on my kits.

Thanks again.

Love them Jess! Now just name those babies from left to right. Verrrrry Cool and very well done sculpts!

"Apes on a Sill" an artistic representation of what could be.

Jess, any chance of closer pix of each finished one? I'm stoked to see them closer!

 

[kfog41]

To see them painted up close would be even better! Does anyone know of a painter that could do the Orangutan sculpts?

Say....that reminds me! PZ, you still have to show us your painted Lawgiver!!!!

I've grouped them by kind. First, the gorillas, starting with Ursus from the very left. Background gorilla. Julius. Dr. Maximus, Dr. Honorious, Virgil, Galen, Lucius, Milo and then Prefect Barlow.

They are a LOT of work, nonetheless! And they are masterfully painted, too.

I will try to post more photos of the finished ones tonight.

I'm thinking that since Hot Toys already did a wonderful Ursus...I'm going to leave my Ursus unhelmeted...and maybe someday sculpt a helmet. But not now. I want to sculpt two ape children before the helmet.
