    Retro Astro Apes – ApeOnaut Zira 1960

    2018 could not pass without another mid-century sci-fi simian adventure!

    In the spirit of my on-going riff, Zira's a mash-up of old, new, custom and assembled bitz. If nothing else, she makes me smile at the end of a very difficult year.





    … BTW, December has been full of fun and memorable customs around here. That inspiration got me off my ***** to finish her.

      I absolutely LOVE your re-imagining of the POTA apes.

      Just 100% pure awesomeness!

          That’s super cool.
          Fresh, not from concentrate.

                I could see them in a space war with 1960 style Gorns, too.

                        Omigosh! My jaw just hit the floor!

                        This is so creative and clever and just plain cool!

                            Clever, very clever. Would serve well for Ant-man, Yellowjacket, or Killer Moth. Thank you.

                              ^^ Yeah, a great part/bit… easy to cut cleanly and they come in different sizes and shapes too.
