Save the Planet of the Apes!!! - PIX ADDED!!

OMG you bought that guy???? I think the sizing is perfect!

Yes, I did… … but talk about buyer’s remorse…

I hoped it would be in scale to my other apes and it is fairly close (larger), but I like it. I thought a resin copy of the head would add diversity to my POTA figures.

Thanks.

I like it, and thank goodness it went to a good home! Congratulations!!

Guys, if anybody's looking for me, I'm in stealth mode, knitting. I'll be laying quiet for the next couple of days. I need to ponder and come up with a peaceful solution to a waylaid monkey wrench that just shattered my machinery.

DP, I like that ape. I think it would be a great addition to any POTA collection and would certainly add the depth of diversity you seek.

Jess, I hope everything works out for you. If you need an ear, I'm here.

 

[Jessica]

IM, I sent you an e-mail.

Why can't life be easy? sigh. I am carrying such a burden. Why can't I just play with my toys?

What's wrong Jess? I am listening to you also!

Hey Jess... Marsha and I wish you the best. I wish I could think of something poetic to say, but I got nothing.

maybe this is worth a small smile... Marsha took me to a craft store sale Thanksgiving day and it was wall to wall people. As she was waiting in the long check out line, I handed my iphone to her as it started playing a classic movie scene very loudly. It was "Taylor" yelling: "Its a mad house...A MAD HOUSE"

 

[Jessica]

Kfog, TDP...thanks for being there to listen, too. I'm just waiting for the dust to settle to see what needs to be done.

I also look forward to more resin Ape heads.

Here is one of my crazy ideas I wanted to try out...

This sculpt reminds me of the fake pullover masks for the chimps in the movies background.

I like it.

Long time since venturing into the city. It's a jungle out there.


Hey there Jessica, I hope you are better and are well. It sounds like you may need a little R&R at a chimp spa. You have many friends here. That's what makes this group special.

 

[angelofmusic2112]

Yes - we are all special.

 

[Jessica]

Thanks guys. Only you can understand me. You are my friends and family and sometimes when I need something, just typing it out makes me feel better cause I know you're there listening!

 

[Jessica]

Egads, this male chimp has really bad makeup: I hate her inner sleeves.

 

[stickman]

Yes - we are all special.

You are extra special Angel, never forget it.



Jess, where'd you get that photo from?

This sculpt reminds me of the fake pullover masks for the chimps in the movies background.

I like it.

Ha! That is EXACTLY what I was thinking too. the pullover masks to fill in the crowd.

 

[Jessica]

Sticks I got the photo from google images.

TDP---someone on the apes yahoo group had said that I should sculpt a gorilla pullover in 1:6 scale. I will, one day.

 

[stickman]

Thank you Jess. How would you make the mask so that it wouldn't tear when you removed it from the head? I would imagine at that scale everything would be rather thin.

 

[Jessica]

I was going to sculpt it and make resin casts...but hey...I also like your idea!

Oh...if you have time, check out T Hoffarth's photostream on Flickr. Nice stuff on apes.

 

[stickman]

Jess, do you have a link?

Well I went to my garage and pulled out my apes. I'm hoping to take some pictures tonight. Setting up is the hard part. What to film. Jess I wiah I had your market scene right now. That would be fun.

 

[Protozaius]

Egads, this male chimp has really bad makeup:

[BLooks like Profiles in History is getting ready for another auction!

And it looks like they are selling a orangutan outfit and a partial ANSA outfit too:
(that rifle does NOT look authentic!)

Those costumes would be great to have but this is what I would get if I had the money....

The special Lawgiver prop head that BLEEDS!!!

 

[Jessica]

I have been looking at the market scene, its present state, and thinking about chucking it. I don't know if I'll ever get to it, and it's taking up space.

Can you see the apes images here on this link? https://www.flickr.com/photos/hoffarth/5193803838/
