Before I go, I have to ask... what the heck is a Kurgan?

 

[jungle jom]

I don't know either but there seems to be alot of it throughout this site!

 

[angelofmusic2112]

Good! I'm glad it's not just me...

What are you up to Jingle?

Jungle, I just pulled up Wikipedia. According to Wikipedia, John Huston was indeed a very tall ape. They say he was 6 foot 2 inches!

[jungle jom]

You are correct Angel. There was another John Huston that was 5'10". My mistake!

The chimp glyphs I have are for Cornelius' chest and sleeves. I've attached some photos of the gorilla glyphs, Milo head, Lucius head and Julius head.

Glad to hear about the Caesar chair. For at least six years I've wanted to get that project rolling. Now I just have to finish Caesar.

ANG - Good luck with the Ebay auction.

Wow Snick, these look great. Lucius has come to life!!

Ouch! That second picture really hurts my eyes -very blurry!

Cool Chimps Snickertown - Eventually, I'll have to pick up some more Sideshow Cornelius' figures just to have more chimp clothes. Let's see what could they be used for? Dr. Galen? Galen (TV Series)? Lucius? Background chimps holding signs such as "No More War!”, Background chimps in green jumpsuits from Conquest? My imagination runs amuck!

 

[angelofmusic2112]

I'm pretty sure we'll soon have a Galen (from the TV Series). My recent chimp sculpt was just given a "Galen hairdo" and the resemblance is very very strong!

Very cool! Can't wait to see a photo when it's done.

I just love checking this thread and reading about all the bright ideas and plans. You guys rock,

Jungle, Did you ever solder something and have the solder fall and just splatter? I plan on using small yellow jewels on his robe and splatter some solder that has been dropped to make the embellishments on the mutant robes.

What were you going to use?

That was exactly one of the options I was considering. The other thing I was I was contemplating was to use that thick puffy fabric paint, it's kind of like a plastic. I would get it in a metallic silver. It's more flexible than the sodder.

I'm not at a point where I am going to do the robes at this time, I'm working on a different costume right now if you know what I mean.

If I were you I would experiment with both techniques on some scrap cloth to see which one work the best.

Hey Snick...

I'd be really interested in getting that wonderful Luscius head when the time comes!

I'll just need some advice on how to attach it to a Cornelius body!

I really like the flexibility aspect of the puffy fabric paint JJ. On the downside it needs crinkles in it. Maybe I'll try mixing in some crinkled aluminum foil. It sounds like one big experiment when the time comes... and it's a coming soon!

You have to talk with the wife about making a Mendez robe for some cash. I don't forsee her into trading ape stuff.

SNICK - The wife isn't interested in any trades with you unless you have some Raggedy Ann stuff in your collection... Do you have Raggedy Ann stuff in your secret collection?

You mean like seer sucker material that candy striper nurses wear. That is a crinkled like material.

There is one Lucius head cast left. It has a bunch of air bubbles in it. I'm sure Matt S. could get this head fixed up if you want to give it a shot. The mold literally broke when I pulled the head out. I wouldn't charge you for it but if you want to make some Zira clothes that would be cool.

JUNGLE - Have SNICK send the broken Lucius head to me and I'll fix it up for you. While it's here, I'll make a new mold after fixing it. Piece of cake.

SNICK - Why do you need more Zira Clothes? Are you making some female chimps?
