Thanks! Photo of the teeth I will install. Look how brown they are compared to a white piece of paper:



Saw some image stills of gorilla upper teeth, so I decided at the last moment to make sure he has upper and lower teeth.

Nice! The teeth look dead-on.

Still working on his teeth...they are actually very brownish, but with a flash they look white. And since he's ALMOST done, I WILL remove him from my "to do" list!

[Chris]

My dad just told me that the Burton apes look way better. BLASPHEMY!!!! Burton and my movie in the same phrase. How insane is that? See what I have to live with?

He's old so we'll forgive him...I guess. BTW, you have to update your "To Do" because Urko is finished...unless your next goal is to make an Urko helmet.

Burton's apes are better?? NO WAY!!!

The gorilla sculpt is amazing! I kept looking at the one photograph thinking it was an original from the 1970s but it was your sculpt. That's wild.

Maybe we can pool our funds together and have your sculptor do Pete Burke? Ironman might be interested too, however, you just killed the Starsky sculpt I think Pete Burke would be in your "wheel house".

Whoo! 40 gun salute in Ape City. Urko lives!!

Just a slight haircut and teeth installation, and he marches out of Ape City in full glory. Oh wait...he's a general. He rides out of Ape City in full glory.

Excellent work, Jess!

Thanks Captain. On some fights you just have to hire the mercenaries so you can preserve your strength for bigger battles.

Jess don't let it bother you..Some sculpts come easier than others ,,who knows why really.
I have one now that giving me fits. I work on it ,,then out it down,,work on it then out it down. Others I think will be hard some easy and some I think will be easy I cant get right. Your a great sculptor. I am sure you will get it done eventually. I believe in your talents. I am going to keep banging away at this one till it's right. Might take me forever but I will give it all I got.

I've sculpted Burke three times now and he still looks like crap. I need to shed the guilt from the Ada Chan debacle, who totally let me down. I have asked Alex Lopez to sculpt him, and he will. I just have to put the funds together for that so he can start the project.

[Chris]

Jess,

Did you ever sculpt a 1:6 scale Pete Burke head? 'Cuz I need one. I have your Pete Burke outfit but no head to go with it. My doll resembles a hardcore, made-for-cable last episode of the TV show where Urko beheads the as-tro-nauts.

[Captain_Mego]

Outstanding work Jess,,You are so talented I am always impressed with you.

40 gun salute in Ape City! The jacket has arrived safely. Hopefully Dave will share a picture of him wearing the jacket.

Working feverishly now on hairing up Urko and breathing some life into him. Raising the fire under this project so by the time the fabric comes for my Romulan outfit, I can concentrate on that and see if I can make the deadline. At least there is always Uhura to fall back on. Ho hum but...time got out of control for me and the Trek Convention is coming to town.
