Sorry guys. I don't like "padding" the post count like some other threads but I needed POST #3082 to be in this thread.
3082 - the year astronauts Virdon, Burke and Jones crashed onto the PLANET OF THE APES

RIP Jonesy.

A dentist and a barber.

...and after the lobotomy on Landon, I'll be a surgeon too!

The open mouth effect is rather impressive.

Have you tried to show some teeth using Zaius or Cornelius?

3082... what a milestone. I'm not even half way there. With Sideshow cancelling all of my favorite lines and all, it might be a LONG time before I get there.

Yeah, poor Jonesy... down-sized to streamline the narrative. He deserved better.

Funny, my son and I sat down and watched the first episode a few days ago and I noticed something a few things about the episode that I've never before.

It's the first scene with the apes approaching the space ship in the beginning of the episode. The first shot erroneously shows Urko approaching the wreck(he is the only one with a white horse ) on a nearby road, then it cuts to our heroes. When it cuts to the APes approaching the ship, Urko is not present. That is because Urko has yet to be introduced! Continuity!

Also, I noticed that when Burke and Virdon are wearing the ANSA jumpsuits their names don't seem to appear above the ANSA logo like Taylor. The flap around the neck is strategically hanging over the name plate. Perhaps the producers thought that they would be in those suits for such a short period of time that the detail didn't need to be added. I say this because I have had it in the back of my mind, the problem of adding Burke or Virdon to the Sideshow's Taylor jumpsuit if a custom job was to be attempted. Well, it seems that we just need to remove Taylor's name.

Or just "black out" the name

Ya got me Angel! What a great teaser... If you impressed yourself it must be GREAT!!! And a simple Mod too.

You are a great impovisor. I can't wait, but I guess I'll have to.

How about a little hint?

 

[Protozaius]

Curious? Tune in tomorrow for this cliffhanger! ~Angel~

Okay... Tomorrow is here... Still no activity on the cliff.

 

[jungle jom]

Don't worry Proto... Angel has yet to let us down.

I'm also curious as to what he has in store tonight.

 

[jungle jom]

Angel must be running late.

 

[jungle jom]

I take it back... This is the first time you've let us down. Or me down.

I have always hated the final film in the series so I may not be your intended audience.

Don't get me wrong I've loved what you've done with your apes but the tease for this mod did not live up to the hype and anticipation.

Regardless... Please keep up the goood work. Remember you can't please all of the people all of the time... I'm sure there are a lot of ape fans who will get a lot out of your newest mod.

OUCH!!!
Battle is not my favorite of the films either, but WOW!!! Angel that is a great switch on the uni and a great job throwing MacDonald together.
What type dye did you use?
More info!!

 

[jungle jom]

Hi guys! I've been toying with the idea of replacing the sweater type material at the bottom of the sleeves of Cornelius and the inner sleeves of Zira with a more film accurate material. From pictures I've seen and the films themselves it appears to be a soft burlap material with a very thick weave.

So I'm looking for a brown 1/6 scale burlap as a replacement. I've never been a 100% happy with the look of the outfits and I am inspired by the work of others on this forum(Angel).

Any ideas of what I should use?

Thanks in advance.

I am finally back to this great forum. I really like what angelofmusic2112(Mark) did with the dye to make the McDonald figure. I would have every main Character done from the first two movies if I had the talent and the go onto the third, fourth, and fifth. I used to get 1/9th scale Planet of the Apes Customs from Mathew Sotis who is an Apes enthusiest and is mentioned in the sauseville book. I had sold all those items years ago mainly to a gentlemen in Australia. I had the Apes museum, Urco headquarters, hunter Apes on horseback, Landon in his tattered Astronaut clothing. The list goes on. There are so many ideas to work with here! Just think how significant Landon and Dodge would have been to collecting if they would have let them live a little further in the first Movie. For that fact, stewart is brought up many times on the "what if" discussion. Any comments on this subject? Thankyou!

Any good suggestions for applying hair to arms? I'm thinking of making a new soldier/warrior gorilla but his arms need to be haired up.

 

[jungle jom]

I've done it, Ironman. I used crepe hair; it is inexpensive and a good substitute for the texture of Ape hair and it is fairly easy to use. I used friendly plastic as the glue and had decent results but I am sure there is a better adhesive out there. The crepe hair is available in many shades of color at a make-up or theatrical supply house. Here is a shot of my Hasbro Cornelius forearms that I did before Sideshow added its Ape figures. The technique I used was to start at the knuckles and work my way back, each additional course of hair hid the glue from the previous course.

 

[jungle jom]

Hasbro Dr. Z was also in need of an arm hair replacement.

 

[jungle jom]

Turning Hasbro G.I Jane into Nova... Just add animal skins and Crepe Hair!

 

[stickman]

That technique looks very interesting JJ I'd like to try it at some point. Again I appluad you for your Nova outfit, it looks fantastic.
