    A Suit for Zaius

    Hello, everyone. A n00b here.

    I know I'm not the first to do this, but I'm sorta proud of how it turned out. This is my first attempt at making a more "true-to-film" costume for one of my Mego apes.
    The shoes still need some work--considerable work--but I'm satisfied with the rest.
    Shoulder pieces are made from Sculpey Bake n' Bend clay, as are the shoes. His cane (not pictured) is brass rod.

    Comments welcome!

        The glyphs are actually (A) reversed (they're supposed to stand out, mine are recessed) and (B) totally incorrect. I used a lot of license

        Thanks everyone for the feedback!

                            That looks really nice. Great job.
                            If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.
