    Nova

    With Zica's Yvonne now available, a quality Nova is now a reality!

    Used the small chest and trimmed 1/2" off her hair.

    Cut & dyed leather cave bikini, argentium silver chain, aluminum dog tags, and optional leather neck restraint:

            Fantastic job! But you cut her hair? on a new toy? You take this custom stuff serious.

                          I dig her. Wondering if you could dye her to be a little more tan.

                            ^^ Yes indeed, there are color accuracy issues in the photos... the leather is really a brighter, lighter shade of brown but photographed a little darker. You can see tho, I was going for the two-tone look of the actual costume from the movie. I was able to mimic the source, but the actual costume was made of three different materials sewn and glued into each other. I didn't go quit that far in my Nova-quest.

                            I recently bought a bag of leather scraps from a commercial maker and got a great mix of pieces to work with including variations in color, thickness and texture. Has me making Ape bandos, belts, human clothing, restraints, etc.

                            Thanks for the all the feedback. There are so many great customs going up these days across the Museum; Nova is humble in comparison but a must have for Ape City.
