My Project CIPSA Cornelius

[Mr Mego]

Please excuse my sentence.

UPDATED:

I've been worked hard on the Mego ape body with Galen head and black pelvis in 3 days and night. I sanded down and polished the body. Then difficult to put all the body parts together that CustoMegoworks the same as I did the other way. I just replaced the right lower leg with knee pin. It was difficulty to removed it so I had to drilled it off and put original Mego knee pins back (from piecemaker), it looks pretty good. I have extra brown ape body parts and I replacing another ape body in which body parts was damaged when I receives it.

The Mego brown T-2 body and head from piecemaker, Mego black pelvis from Reptilesrmt and original CIPSA glyphic boots from nayrbgo. Thanks guys for helping me out with these parts.





I turned this upper body around one time.

I sanded off the copy right on the back and polished it.

I fixed the cracked on the left foot with super glue.



This is complete body with original CIPSA glyphic boots.



I just messaged Theressa and see if she can make a custom Cornelius shirt for me.

Also, Our member Lonnie (aka Reptilesrmt) have original Cipsa Cornelius shirt with its missing cuffs and he sent his shirt to her last Monday.

She'll fixing the brown vinyl cuffs for him and then will copy his original Cornelius shirt for me.

I'm glad Lonnie, Bryan and Theressa helping me out.

When I get the shirt and I will post a new thread in the Finished Customs section board.

I just borrow this pics from our members and show it to Theressa. She'll start working on it in few more days.

I thought no body interesting my CIPSA project, I'm glad to see you posting here!

I just got back home from mother's house that she asked me to feeding her 2 small dogs while she's gone with her best friend in Houston. After that I went near back home and a small white car ran over the street a very fast and wrecked into my Truck!!!!!!!!! But my Truck is pretty fine... Long stories, will post in General Buzz when my head is clear. It busted my back of head and back spine pretty bad, I blacked out durned wrecked but I'm ok.

I took some pics of my project Cipsa Cornelius body (yesterday) that I'm finished sanded in the center of the hip and knee pins to make them looks like CIPSA style.

That looks pretty good I think.

Added information and pics

I'm finished cleaned the Mego Galen head today and I put his head on the top of pencil and then punched in the box hole, to keep the head and stem holds while I'm painting his head. Not yet but will be ready to painting the Galen head with green ears by tomorrow.

I went to the Michael's Crafts and Arts store tonight and bought 2 different shades of acrylic red and black paints (for the eyes and hair) is for my custom Mego/Cipsa Cornelius.

NOTE: on the right side is Peter Burke that has some brown stains, won't comes off. So, I used to testing painting on Peter's eyes to see if it's matches or not on my custom Cipsa Cornelius's eyes.





I borrow this pics from our member piecemaker that he posted in my thread in the Mego Fact section board:

Is the CIPSA Cornelius head black or dark brown? - Mego Fact

[sauce]

Hey! This is quite the labor of love!!!
I'm loving it!

Yes, take care of yourself Pat. Car accidents have a way of coming back to haunt you several days after they occur.

[Mr Mego]

Thanks guys, next time I'll be careful.... The Cops told them to staying away from me and they'll keep watching them for me.

Here's close up pics, I'm almost finish painting the eyes. Now this eyes looks pretty good, the red pupils looks very close matches as Kraig's.

Will be finish painted the eyes by tomorrow when the sun comes out. So, that'll helps me to seeing his face well.

[piecemaker]

Wow!,great job on the eyes so far!

[Mr Mego]

Thanks bro!

On the right eye has been messed up... I removing and repainting many times, it is very hard work. Now it looks good, need little more red paint on the right eye to level as left round and smooth. I'm waiting for the red paint to drying well then will adding red paint on the center of eye, to see if it's enough or not. If it's enough then will be ready to painting the black pupils, adding little more white sides to matches left eye, eye browns and hair. I dunno how long it'll be finish, I'll post here with new pics when it's done.

[Mr Mego]

I painted the red eyes the last time, looks much better! Also, I painted black on the eye lids like Kraig's. It's near finish job, will be done by Monday or Wed.
