Thank you King.
A Kurgan is almost as good as a simian and you are most welcome here amongst us.
May 2010 shine favorably upon the highlander clans.

Jess, did you ever make Dr. smocks for the surgery scene? I'm sure you would do a phenomenal job.

Angel has Dr. Galen's smock and the assistant chimp's green outfit. I bought 2 shirts from Goodwill to make those. Hard to find the fabric with the right weight for the scale.

Good to see you visit Central City once in awhile, King. Keep faith in your krusade always, and fight to the death.

So lovely to see your photos, Sticks. They are such great eye candy. How did that bearding up go?
 
Yeah, I miss those days. :cool:

Well, after my failed attempt my father gave it a go. Here is how he stands thus far. With the Holidays, he got pushed back a bit on the priority list. :whip

I think you just need to tame it down a bit and then match his hair and dirty him up, and he should be good to run through the cornfields. :banana
 
I am curious how his hair is stuck on. Is it hair plugs? You can rehair...I think you just have to pull out the plugs and then use a broken needle to push in the new hair--put in really long hair--so that you can trim it to the right length.

It just takes time, but anyone can do it.
 
Guys, I was just thinking about Stick's re-hairing...and decided to work on my Hasbro gorilla!! Anyway, here he is before his makeover. I am not planning to "rehair" him with additional hair--I was going to sculpt hair on top.

This is why you don't get so ass drunk on New Year's eve! You never know what kind of condition you will be in when you wake up...

And then it was too difficult to remove all the hair--SOOOOO much glue in there!!

So I decided to cut out his face. It tore off easily enough with all the hair plugs they surrounded it with!! Besides, I was kind of worried with baking the head up in the oven after sculpting Super Sculpey on top because of the type of plastic the hair was made of. There was NO WAY I could remove all of that hair...and I am too impatient!

Here are the two sculpts side by side--sorry the pictures aren't the best, but you get the idea!! As you can see the Hot Toys gorilla is still in the middle of dental surgery. I haven't made it permanent yet...but I did remove his stupid top teeth which made him look so utterly goofy...and resculpted a bottom set of teeth. Angel says I can make it smaller than this...but you know how easily I get distracted and never finish anything. Well, that's not going to happen in 2010!! Guess what I am thinking? I am thinking that Hasbro sculpted a better set of teeth than Hot Toys did!!!

Then...how would the Hot Toys gorilla look with a face transplant? Hmmm.>>>>>????

This is how he looks! Interestink, HUH????? He doesn't look THAT bad, does he???? I kinda like him...I'll try to take better photos when it's daytime, since the camera takes better photos with natural light.

Oh well. That's it for the night. Tomorrow I will be doing the tango with the sewing machine so I won't be checking in until late at night. I hope you have comments for me when I log in--good or bad. I'll roll with the punches.

Jess, you're kidding, right? Granted, the HT teeth could be better, but a Hasblo face on an HT figure? Sacrilege!...PS
 
Jess, you beat me to the punch ( no surprise I guess). I've had a defaced hasbro gorilla on my desk since I got the HT's. Just hadn't had the courage to take the HT face off. I would suggest repainting the hasbro versions. I did tat and, even with my meager skills, I think they look better. I'm even converting a gorilla into an ugly chimp!!
 
I think the hasbro and ht gorilla faces look about the same. Though the eyes seem way to big on the hasbros. Can they be repainted to look a little smaller?
 
wow those heads are more similiar than I thought. I agree about the Hasbro eyes looking too white, or being too big. I would love to see if that face could be saved to add variety.
 
I think the Hasbro face is just a tad too big. Just so very slightly...and yeah, he's got cartoony eyes. He does add to the variety, though. Not that I'd have enough chimpchange to ever have an army of Hot Toys gorillas....

I have been at some serious sewing for a few hours now. Now I know why I keep putting stuff like this off--because it's TOUGH!!! I hit a snag, so I'm done for the night. I probably won't get to finish the jacket I'm doing until next weekend, because the boys' school/homework and me as piano police is back on the playbill. :(

I don't know, Paul. I really have no love for the Hot Toys gorilla face. It's just looks too hillbilly to me...When I see his expression, I think of someone laughing, "hyuck hyuck hyuck..."
