    OMG. I am loving where this project is headed!! It's so exciting to see an idea materialize. Too bad it's not an ape, but Link still is very cool.

      I wish I had a fraction of your talent.

        Tadah!! My first ever Mego-sized sculpt. I thought I would never get here, so everything has been 1:6 scale, but I guess it's just mind over matter...and talking to Sharry this weekend made me do it. It's all your fault Sharry!!

                  I will cast the mego-sized ones I make...just give me some time to get my act together. Plus someday I'll get to shrinking the 1:6 scale apes I have already made but that is in the future...hopefully before 3978!!

                  I forgot to add the straight edge on top of the shield. I'll just reconstruct it with clay before baking.

                    Great work and you can definitely count me in on a head cast purchase!

                        I have to get my stadium scene (Mego scale)...accomplished sometime in my life! I need about 15 male chimps, 10 female chimps...and 30 gorillas...25 orangutans...It's going to be a monster of a project, but it keeps me out of trouble plus I get to practice sculpting! Once I get all the sculpts created, I need to outfit the apes...and then build the stadium.

                        Here is chimp #2. He's supposed to be Cornelius, but he doesn't really look like him, so he can become another background chimp. Anyway, 8 more male chimps to go...and tons more other apes to be able to recreate the scene. I started him last night and finished him off when I got home from the slavemines. I may change his chin a little before baking. So cool to just sculpt in this scale so I don't have to worry about shrinking it down. I feel like my stadium scene is closer to reality. I look at the ape sculpts congregating on my window sill that are 1:6 scale and it feels like I can never get anywhere.

                        Hopefully I can spring up enough cash to buy all the bodies. If not, I'll just have to make my own and make this mongo project harder still. I'll see and cross that bridge when I get there.

                          That one kinda reminds me of John Hoyt's character in the TV series. (the prefect that let the humans compete in those games).

                              Look what somebody posted! It's my Link photoshopped to their clothes. Purty cool, huh? It's neat to see that someday my work can be on somebody else's dolly.

                                I bought a 1:6 Viking sword and sheath, to see if I could augment with Apoxie, but it looks so "off" so I decided to cut my own sword out of balsa.



                                Here are the beginnings of the sword handle. I'm going to wrap the handle with very thin leather, which is why it's goofy looking now.
