    My take on Bigfoot, err..well, the somewhat domesticated one..

    Meet Harry.

    My 3d designed head.
    (Can I say) Vintage ZICA body..the one used on Buck Rogers & Tiger Man. I hope the purists' heads didn't just explode lol
    FTC Grodd fur suit - and Grodd's body was cannibalized - I cut off his calves just below the knee...and the FTC calves/feet fit onto the ZICA body like boots.
    Years ago, I 3d modeled (I think) the left hand off an old Dr Mego buff body and cloned em to have left and right hands.
    Bulked up his chest, shoulders and backside.
    Doctored up the suit a little bit, but it doesn't photograph well - looks far more natural in person.

    Added a pic of my Beetlejuice and Dorian to illustrate the scale I got from the modified body, which was planned during the scaling of the head design.

    Enjoy!
    Chad

        That is fantastic!

        I admit that I did wince a bit to think about what you did to poor Grodd, but the results speak for themselves.

          That is amazing, Chad! Your combination of fabrication skills and ability to "see" a recipe by combining what you make with what's also available is pretty damned cool.

                    Thanks everyone!

                    Seems the iPhone images are far too large for the boards to accept. If I open them in editing software and reduce them by 60%, they post much larger.

                            The same actor who played Harry and the Predator got his start as the Prophecy Bear.
                            An evil bear like of Katahdin, Tuunbaq and Annihilation’s Screaming bear might be a good project
