This is the first of many. It's a big one...

[Mr Havoc]

Nice man and hows the Legion of Doom coming and the Hall of Justice?

[MegoScott]

Well, that's a different thread, but it's coming.

[SUP-Ronin]

Oh man, very cool. Didn't know you were working on this one. I can't wait to see it develop.

[Edgaar]

Fantastic!!!!!

[censy]

Scott, I have been waiting for this since you unveiled the Dida displays. It's looking great. Really nice job piecing those scenes together. I plan to order one as soon as they are available.

[Meule]

Oh hell yeah, now that is too cool

[The Bat]

Wow...that's really COOL! Can't wait to see the finished Product!:yes:

[jessica]

Awesome!!!!!!

[ScottA]

Way cool Scott.

[apes3978]

Agreed with everyone else... This is pretty slick...

I know it's probably too early to even give an estimated date, but do you know when you might have this ready for sale?

[saucerful]

Sweeeet POTA-ness! WOW! Scott, I'm diggin it so far.....

[Dave Mc]

Very cool Scott. Looks hand drawn

[MegoScott]

Thanks, all. I really like the hand drawn art on the original Mego sets and wanted to try to push that. I love the thick lines they used on the village.
Check out the reference. (http://megomuseum.com/projects/pota/index.html) My painting is a bit more involved--they did these things with markers back then. I would be surprised if the artist who did the village spent more than a day on it. So I'm trying to stay loose.

I'm envisioning a fairly large set---two levels with two side rooms--all folding into a carry case--so there's lots more art to make, too early to tell when it'd be ready.

[Action Martin]

Looks great! I know I'll be ordering one.

Let's see...courtroom? kennel? Zaius' office? Outdoor stadium (discovery of Landon; Ursus' speech in Beneath)? Outdoor pen?

I'd have to agree. Many moons ago, when I first got out of college, I worked in advertising doing conceptual design. Basically doing marker rendered mock-ups to pitch to clients. Man I miss old-timey hands on design! I sometimes wonder if kids still have to learn about markers in design programs. I doubt it.
I loved the Forbidden zone set when I was a kid, and when I finally got a new one this year I was blown away by the sweet, clearly fast as hell, marker artwork. Two levels of completely different nostalgia in one toy... awesome.

The set looks fantastic Scott, can't wait to see more!

[lepage]

I am looking foreward to seeing this one done!

[HardyGirl]

Oh swweeeeet! Very impressive. In the other parts, maybe the council chambers, Zira's lab, Urko's security office, a jail? I dunno. But whatever you fashion for this playset I'm sure will be cool.

WIP painting for one panel of the back of the set...it has me jazzed!

[Action Martin]

I can't stand being teased. :drool_y:

[jessica]

LOVE that last painting you are working on!!

Makes me want to get down on my knees and pound the sand and curse all of humanity!!

[apes3978]

Your Lady Liberty looks a LOT better than what MEGO gave us...

[censy]

Sweet! I was hoping one panel would feature the Statue of Liberty. Great job Scott. I am getting jazzed too : )

Chris

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Very nice...I love watching the development.

[critter2]

I've gotta get this! Count me in for one when they're done!
Great job!

[PNGwynne]

Wow!!

I don't collect POTA (yet:wink_y:), but that is sweet!
