Using some Locktite gel super glue, I sculpted a beard on my Slave Taylor figure, and am really happy with the results...

WOW!!! That came out SUPERB!!

In Mego scale, I sculpted Dr. Z's hieroglyphs. First I tried to create an impression of the hieroglyphs, but it sucked. So I ended up sculpting everything instead of trying to press in the design. After this was baked to cure, I rolled some clay on top to get a negative of the hieroglyphs (a mold). This "mold" is now curing in the oven as I type. My plan is to try to get a positive of this with magic clay, which is semi-flexible and dries super light. I can shape this over Dr. Z's shoulders and then let it cure overnight. If it works, I can paint over it to make it look like leather. We'll see how it goes. If this works, this is how I'm going to create El Presidente's hieroglyphs. Wish I could post photos but I can't remember where I placed my camera.

Looks very professional Batman Professor. Nice job on that beard!

Did you also dye the fabric colors on your apes? Seems kind of purple-ish.

Here's what I am doing with the hieroglyphs and I'm happy with how it's coming along.

No, it's just the lighting.

Wow those hieroglyphs are just gorgeous, Angel! Thinking of your project is really making me want to get cracking on El Presidente myself.

Here's what I was monkeying with today, and the hieroglyphs are the practice hieroglyphs. They looked much better after I slimmed them down with an exacto blade and after they were painted.

Those look store bought Jessica. They look so rubbery & clingy. (That's a good thing.) You really did a GREAT job of those.

I found a box of 1/6 scale parts in my garage today to include some gorilla clothes, an unfinished gorilla head and a naked human body.

Guess who's making another gorilla?

I started putting some blue apoxy on him today.

Is that an OMEGA MAN Charlton Heston I see in the background?

Spectacular! Thanks for sharing JJ, I really enjoyed that Pixar like short!

It certainly is!

Here's a couple more for those who were Omega fans. JJ put it best. He said, "The baddies are like Gorillas, you can never have too many."

 

[The Batman Professor]

Damn, that's impressive. I've been wanting to kitbash a 1/6 OMEGA MAN for a while now. One thing I do have is this 1/6 resin kit, which has a pretty good likeness...
