:heart: Cornelius :heart: from the Planet of the Apes. Look how suave he looks! :heart::heart::heart:

I ordered the head from Ian (Yanouli). Need to paint and add hieroglyphs to his outfit.

Vman, I'll send you the hieroglyphs just as soon as I manage to make some for my outfit. Sorry it's taking so long...I'm just busy chasing other projects.

I need to repaint my Zira. I'll probably paint both at the same time. I'm not satisfied with my paint job on her...

Jessica, are you doing all these Ape customs in regular 8" scale? They're very nice. Also, I had an idea of a character that would make a great custom, but it'll be a while until I finish my Superhero projects and start anything new. How about Zira's nephew Lucius from the movie?
**edited to say: I don't know if any other lines made a figure of him that you could just do a simple head-shrink. But he should be made on a Teen Titans body:)

Thanks guys and gal...

Del, I have a lion rock body that I was going to use for Lucius. Would that be the same size as a teen titans body? I think Ian also sells an enlarged Medicom Lucius. I'll have to look into that, as I do want all of the main players of Ape City eventually, in 8" scale...easier to build Ape City in that scale.

The Teen Titans figures were released on Lion Rock bodies, so yeah. Keep me posted on that project. I'd love to see one, since I just recently started buying Apes.

This was going to be my Cornelius until I saw your flocked one and had to get my paws on one:

I added more hair to the back of the Medicom Cornelius. I tried painting but was not happy with the putty color I kept mixing for the skin tones...so I guess a jaunt to the art store to get better paints.

While I admire all the hard work, that went into the rooted Hair Cornelius. I'm sorry...but it makes Him look a Punk Rock Porcupine!:please_y: As You can see in the unpainted "sculpted" version...Cornelius's Hair is slicked back...like it was in the Movie.

I was thinking that same thing myself, but I didn't want to say too much about it that could be taken as mean... Like you, I can appreciate the effort that went into it, but some things (talking apes for example) are just not meant to be flocked...
