Great, but shouldn't nova have a darker tone?

True...I don't think you could color silicone, either, due to its properties, unless you premixed the pigments before you pour it.

True dat Jess! She still looks like the real thing though!

Question for stickman? Hey sticks, I recently purchased three Julius Caesar Ignite (Nude Figures) from Toy Anxiety. They were listed as (Shorter Stauture) which is the only reason why I purchased them. Can you tell me if the Julius Caesar figure is supposed to be shorter than the other ignite versions, because the three that I received are exactly the same size as the Ignite and dml version bodies. Thanks, Kent.

Hey there KFog,

Funny thing, I never did get Julius. He received such bad reviews and I didn't feel there was too much that I could kitbash. I'm sure that the seller meant that the bodies were smaller than regular bodies, i.e. SideShow. The Ignite bodies are dainty and are not as built. They also seem smaller than DML Dragon. Let me know what you are doing with his helmet. I thought that it would be cool to paint gold and have it in my Clash of the Titans scene.

Here I go again, playing with my dollies!

Very cool Jess!!
I like the originality of it.
Will you be making any other HT "face plates" You know how I love variety. And I still need to get the rest of the council!

Very cool Jess. I really like the look of the second and third shot.

IM, how many HT gorilla soldiers do you have now? Last I checked you were at eight.

Hi Sticks, I bought three nude Julius Caesar figures. Sorry, I did not purchase a helmet. I think that they have one at toy anxiety though. Later, Kent.

KFog - status update: your ape heads are coming along very nicely. I'm still layering different colors on each of them for a better look.

Alas, I am still at only 8. Since my being sniped by that lousy human bastard on ebay I haven't been able to find a good deal on any.

I'm on pins and needles! I can't wait to see how the orangutan will look.

Ohhhhh, yeaaaaa! I can't wait to get them mark! How cool to have a painted up Orangutan! I picked up a Hot Toys Gorilla shirt and pants that will go great with Julius. I need only to glue the Heiroglyph on the front of the shirt, add the belt with keys, boots, and a cigar. The broom can come later! Thanks Angel, Kfog!

Ditto Jess, ditto!

Wow that dark brown wig is most awesome! I really want to try that one! Actually, the person to ask would be Matt Sotis. He has haired up Snick's apes, but I don't know his methodology. I prefer sculpted hair myself...but you know how curiosity gets the best of me. I still want to try hairing up one of the orangutans I did...using that lion fur I used for Link. The color is perfect I think...I just have not worked up the nerve to paint up the orangutan face. I have a cast of just the face, ready for this...just haven't found my nerves yet.

Everyone, thanks again for the comments. I ordered the dark brown 1/6 wig to give it a try.

I too am really looking forward to the latest ape head painting.

Oh yay! That's going to be awesome!

I am trying at the moment to build up a head that I could glue an orangutan face to, trying to fit it onto a neck of whatever body I have...but I keep getting distracted by my sons and making sure they do their lessons. I really want to see how that lion fur looks on an orangutan!

Is anyone interested in buying any customs from my collection? I would take pictures, but my wife has it with her tonight. I'll take pictures soon.

For now, I'm looking at getting rid of two dozen of my custom made apes figures with their accessories. They're all fully clothed and painted. I just have way to many apes. The ones I'll be selling are mostly from the TV series and there are many others. I'll post pictures when I can. First come first served and money talks. Christmas is coming and I hope to buy something really nice for my wife.

Hey! Angel's selling his stuff! C'mon!

 

[Jessica]

Good luck Angel! My husband rarely gets me anything, so color me green with envy!! (It's a culture thing...)

Look how cute my mego scale Zira is! Her feet have been sculpted on with Apoxie, and are not removeable unless I pull the whole foot off with the ankle pin. Anyway, she's way cooler now and is easier to pose as she is more stable with the ape feet. I also added micro neodymium magnets on the soles of her feet, so she will be easier to pose should I ever finish up my laboratory scene...I even remembered to add black nailpolish!
