They could have at least included a clip from "Lassie Come Home" to show the start of his career....
 
OMG guys--with old age comes the time to have to get bifocals. Oh snap! I am really hating this fact...
 
Sadly, I think that 5 inches tall is about 1/13 scale, if my math is correct.
A fully grown chimp standing up is approximately 5.6 feet (66 inches) 66/5 = 13.2
11 inches would be a good 1/6 scale Caesar.

The hands and feet look a little large, so I am wondering if I can use them for some customs.
 
Don'y feel bad Jess.You know you're REALLY on the decline when You need Readers WITH your contact lenses.I've reached that delightful stage;when I want to look at something close while wearing my regular glasses, I have to remove them. If I have my contacts in, I must resort to my reading glasses.Growing old is such fun...PS
 
PS--I think I may have to resort to reading glasses...UGH!!

Remember when I mentioned that I am in the midst of costuming a TON of kids for an upcoming show in June? Anyway, I snuck in some chimp hieroglyphs and actually one of the other Egyptian collars I am making has Julius hieroglyphs on them. Here is a photo of one of them. It was going to take way too much time to glue down hieroglyphs, so I decided to just draw them quickly with hot glue. I had about 11 collars to cut out and decorate.
