Save the Planet of the Apes!!! - PIX ADDED!!

[slikkerias]

Your repaints do wonders for them slik - I've got the Zira, Zaius and Cornelius trio and I've always liked the sculpts but been dissatisfied with the paintwork. It's great to see what they look like spruced up.

Thank you!!

With a huge blizzard on the way I decided to paint a few squad members, I figured it would give me something to do over the next couple of days.

BLACK or Blue?

Sweetness!

Thanks Ryan, I'm going to give them a couple of coats. Hopefully I'll be able to clean them up a bit, looks like I missed a lot of spots. It's nice having variety. I hope to one day try and do cartoon color versions. I wonder how the soldiers would look decked out in green.

That would be sick. I wish I got more of the gorilla two packs I only bought two.

Would anyone here (from Europe) be interested in trading a new Hot Toys Gorilla Captain for a like new complete Gorilla Soldier?

 

[slikkerias]

Does anyone know the edition size of the Hot Toys Gorillas? I don't remember 'Limited edition' written on any of their other boxes.

Slikerias, I don't beleive the edition sizes were ever revealed. Here is the only info I can gather for you:

The only real difference between Captain and soldier is the bandolier belt and weapons. If you are unable to sell/exchange the Captain you can always paint over the two thin vertical lines and turn him into a Lieutenant.

Thanks! And true, it's only the bandoleer, the key and the club I don't have. I have a few incomplete soldiers and now two complete mint captains. It's basically because of those three items I would like to trade for the soldier.

 

[slikkerias]

So, if you have a Hot Toys Gorilla soldier bandoleer, key and/or club you want to sell, please let me know.

 

[stickman]

Unfortunately I don't. Is there any way you can make a mould for the key and club? I'm not sure but I think Jessica made extra bandoliers, maybe PM her. If you can't contact her let me know i will get her the message.

I'm sorry, but I don't know Jessica. Does she make them just like the Hot Toys bandoleers? I guess it would be possible to make casts of the key and club if you have them already. Don't know if anyone did that.
Thanks for the info!

 

[slikkerias]

Just noticed that only the Gorilla Captain box has the 'Limited edition' written on the box. Probably means that the captain is made in fewer numbers than Ursus and soldier. Makes sense.

Anytime Slikk, I dropped Jessica a line, hopefully she might be able to stop by and help or give some pointers.

Awesome! I just found out that Jessica must be the one who did this Doctor Galen sculpt. It's fantastic and I really really need it! I'm doing a Dic Galen custom and this head would be fantastic. Don't know if she has made more than one though...?
But she's in this forum too?

 

[stickman]

She contributed to this thread quite a bit, lets hope she comes around.

Just found her. She hasn't posted here since 2015 [emoji51]. Love her stuff!

Hey guys! Been busy. Can't believe it has been years since I logged on. What is everyone working on? I have a lot of unfinished stuff because I just get sidetracked. What I need is inspiration and this thread used to do that for me. But life got in the way. Doesn't mean I have lost the desire tho. Let's work on ape stuff! I might try to grow the Neca Zaius into 1:6. I think we really need a good Zaius. And I have encountered a great way to press leather for hieroglyphs! I have slowly been trying to improve my skills and I just invested in a new sewing machine. But that doesn't mean I love to sew. Hate that ish.
