    My Custom / Kitbashed Mego Planet of the Apes

    After a 15 years absence, I got back into customizing / kitbashing three months ago. I forgot how much fun and enjoyable it can be.

    I like them...

    Question: Did you make the backpacks on your "Beneath" Soldiers, or did you buy those somewhere?

    Also, your Urko and Aldo are pretty slick too-I was thinking of doing what you did as far as their gauntlets; I see they look pretty good that way, so all the more incentive for me to try that sometime.

        I bought the Soldier backpacks, rifle, sub-machine gun, Urko's pistol & pistol belt, Julius' club, and The Hunt Leader's snare on eBay.

            Nice group! The "unmasked" Roddy McDowell as Cornelius made me smile! Both because it's clever and because I always wondered what that sculpt looked like without the Bookworm hat and glasses. So, thanks twice for sharing!

                Great job on putting this together, I love what you did with McDowell/Cornelius very cool.

                  I was hoping FTC would have made a Puzzler. Then we could have had a Maurice Evans too.

                      This is great. I can't add more to what has already been said above. Great job.

                          Action Martin,

                          Is the chest hieroglyphic piece on your Julius custom from that jspy guy on eBay-I just bought his Julius "accessory pack", so I was wondering if that's what you used on your Julius, or if it's from somewhere else? Thanks for any info...

                            Yes, that's a JSpy25 creation. I also upgraded my Hunt Leader to the JSpy25 HL accessory set.
                            I have to update this picture, so much has changed since Fall 2023
