A Suit for Zaius

[drucifer67]

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!

Your Zaius suit looks Awesome! Those glyphs are tough to do,i made a suit for my Zaius custom and swore i would never do another one.

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!
