This painting sure is more difficult to get "just right". Still chugging away. May take a stab or two at a simian head, just for a break.
Yes, Jess, its a lot of heads. And... they don't come close to being all of the ones that need temding to. I have bunch of others that have to be drilled out first and others that are just pure repaints. Then there's all the accessories and weapons....

Virdon maybe?

Kfog, that's a good find! I do see Virdon...with new hair style and redone eyebrows...I can see Virdon in this guy.

 

[Jessica]

Ironman...simian heads easy and tough at the same time. What can I say? I am a Libra...

Virdon maybe?

Michael Caine as Virdon? Sorry, I don't see it.

 

[Jessica]

Ironman, you see...I didn't even know that was supposed to be Michael Cain. I am looking at the human from the bone structure. I still think with some massaging it could work.

No worries. I'd love to see what you could do to him, but it would be hard, for me, to get past knowing its Caine. Thats all I was saying.

Good eyes there IM! I was looking at the hair, the lower cheek lines and the jaw area. With some sideburns and a repaint, I could easily see this one being Virdon.

Thanks for the link, Jessica. I've wanted to get that bust for a long time now, even though I think that the likeness could been better.

Not sure if I'm going to bid... but I will keep on eye on it.

 

[Jessica]

Of course, it will come unpainted...but you've got that artist that painted the Lawgiver for you!!

I've always thought that the Apemania busts looked better when they were painted with that faux-bronze look. If I did get it, I'd go that route.

I am knitting fiendishly and have been since this weekend. I have accomplished one foot of a baby blanket, and need to knit 3 more feet. *sigh*

I need to complete this blanket by Friday, April 24. All ape work has come to a grinding halt until this blanket is done. I am hoping to also include a baby sweater, hat and booties...but I'll see how it goes.

Hey gang. As you can see by my post count I'm a newbie in these parts, but I've been around a little while lurking. Hoping I can join in on the apes talk: Planet Of The Apes was the very first movie I saw in theatres...accompanied by my mother...lol! What an impression. Anyways, hoping to get to know you folks and have some fun talking Apes. Take care.
