      Wow! I am in total awe at your work and your attention to detail.
      Please keep the pics coming
      Capt. Kirk: "Is there anyone on this ship, who even remotely, looks like Satan?"
      Mr. Spock: "I am not aware of anyone who fits that description, Captain"
      Capt. Kirk: "No, Mr. Spock, I didn't think you would be"

          I have to resculpt the General Ursus helmet.

          The helmet I have now was made for a different sculpt, so after I add hair to my General Ursus, the helmet will look small and awkward.

          Edited to say...A Hasbro helmet is enroute. I was going to sculpt a new helmet, but if this one will work, it will save me time.

            This guy is ALMOST done...just need more hair to the right side of his face, but I have to wait for the Apoxie to dry, and then I need to add some more facial hair...maybe close up that gap on the back of his hair...Need to root through my box of humans to see who else I could convert...

            I am also going to sand down Virgil's eyebrows so they don't jut out so much and re-do them a little bit before I add the last of his facial hair. The head sculpt is propped onto the round file I used to rasp down Virgil's eyebrows.

              Virgil,

              before sanding his brow ridges:
              This is Virgil before makeup:
              after sanding down his brow ridges.


              after resculpting his brow ridges and eyebrows, with final touches to his hair, and voila! He is done but I just need to give him a good paint job.

                This is the new victim...his head refused to budge off the body, so I went at it with some gardening shears. It's also quite small compared to the other heads I have sculpted and looks pretty goofy on the body I removed him from. I decided that I would sculpt over whatever human I pulled out of the box, and it happened to be him.


                He is now on his way to being Lucius just because the head is so tiny. I may re-do his nose. I just didn't have great photo references to work off of. I'm not too sure how I am going to do the back of his hair, how to portray his curls...I will cross that bridge when I get there.

                        My husband asked when I was going to quit doing "this ape stuff"

                            The only thing that will keep me from making apes is when I have each and every ape sculpted, from the movies and the TV series.
                            That's a whole assembly, more than enough to fill the arena at Ape City. After the sculpts, then I have to paint them, and then I have to clothe them...

                            This is Lucius after I removed his nose. Doesn't he look so worried?


                            Here he is after a fresh nose job. After the Apoxie has dried, I will go back in and smooth out the rough area around his new nose and the left side of his muzzle.


                            The back of his head has a rough shape of the hair I will eventually sculpt on top. I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I am going to start building up his hair from the bottom and working my way up to the top...in layers. Never sculpted curly hair before...but there's always a first time. (Actually, this is kind of the first time I am trying my hand at this sculpting...I am trying to remember my first sculpt, and that is the Lawgiver which I started way back in summer.) I have been busy with costumes since then...but this sculpting thing has taken a life of its own.

                              This is the next human I am going to sculpt on top of. Don't know which character yet. Perhaps Julius? Julius was short in stature, and this head is pretty tiny, too.



                              This is the beginnings of his nose:


                              And after some massaging:
