    Gorilla Soldier in 1/4 scale

    I figured instead of just taking up space on my table doing nothing while he waits for his clothes, he could at least hold Doom's head while the paint dries. Make yourself useful Soldier!

        Thanks! I would actually have room for more shelves (and I could definitely use them) but SOMEONE who shall remain nameless insisted that we actually have a guest bed in the guest room!

            He's about 18" tall. I used a Kirk figure from Diamond Select.

                    Here is an update on my Gorilla. Custom dyed leather (vest, removeable gloves, boot covers). It will be getting another dye bath today in black to take it to a really dark plum color. The boots will be painted to match once I have all the leather pieces the right shade. It will get a few more coats/washes of paint on the head and then I need to work on the bandoiler and start carving the rifle. This has been a labor of love!

                      He looks super! Brilliant job, and looks like one heck of a lot of work.
