Wow, I really like those pictures, very cool. Merry Christmas Ape Freaks!

I hit a snag with Pete, guys! He's pinheaded, and I found this out after I painted him up and drilled his neck for a Sideshow body. No biggie. I just ordered some PanoCast 160 so that I can grow him a little bit until he's just the right size. Thank goodness for PanoCast...much cheaper than HydroSpan.

I don't know anything about casting and molding and all of that jazz so do you have to make a new mold once you use PanoCast Jess?

MERRY CHRISTMAS Everyone!

Yes. I will use the mold I have now and pour the PanoCast in there. Then I soak it in water until I grow it to the appropriate size. And then I make a new mold of that, and make a cast which will hopefully be the right size.

So when are you going to post some pics of your painted Burke! I have been sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for this guy! He looks awesome Jess

 

[Jessica]

Sorry Dr. Z, but he looks meh. I'll try to post photos of him tonight. Have to go to another computer, though. Don't laugh...he's pin-headed.

When you say pin headed, does that mean he's small or has a pointed head?

 

[Jessica]

His head is too small. He looks ok unpainted--because his hair is so big:

But when you compare his eyes to the Robert Patrick sculpt, Pete's eyes are too small.

This is how he looks painted--kinda rough because of all of the plastic dust.

He's so meh.

WOW Jess! He looks good! Better than the Ada Chan one!

 

[Jessica]

Maybe I need to fluff up his hair some more? I just didn't want his head to get so big, but then he did have very fluffy hair.

Could you not use a Dremel and grind his head down a bit then resculpt the area again? I haven't tried sanding or dremeling Sculpey, but Sculpey says you can do it.

LOL! I keep forgetting about this thread.

I disagree. I've been a fan of Jim Steranko since his early work on X-Men and Nick Fury from the Silver Age of Marvel in the late 60s. I think that sketch is fantastic.

Not a huge Steranko fan, I love Fury but wasn't crazy on his versions. That having been said, any APE art is well received.

Merry Christmas to everyone here. Did everyone get what they wanted from Santa? I certainly did. So I'll be watching the 3 disk DVD set of District 9 today.

I'm curious - Did any of you guys actually win that bloody Lawgiver Statue recently on eBay? Here it is.

Merry Christmas

Nope, another statue missed out on.

I don't think it looks so bad. The true test would be to see it on a figure in the POTA outfit.

That was the test--his head is too small on the SS figure. The SS shoulder overpowers the size of it. It looks awkward. But no biggie...I will grow it to the appropriate size so it doesn't look stupid.

Angel--I couldn't afford the LG figure, so I didn't even look.

Guys, Drew Gaska said if you wanted to see the Bridge Painting in print, to hammer him with e-mails...guess he wants to gauge the popularity of it to make it worth his effort for a print run:

[Jessica]

Wow, Angel...I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED to see what goodies you have been working on!!

Lucky guy--a week's vacation is what I need.

Actually, I was still sick Wed/Thur, so I didn't come into the slavemines. But I did work from home. I am so sick of being sick!

Tomorrow I'm going to start cracking on my T'Pring costume. Whoot!

Got your PM, Kfog.

Hi Jess! I did not see where you answered it, or did you? Thanks, Kent.

Merry Christmas everyone!

More than 50% of a full figure for just the head? That guys nuts!
