Not the best stuff, usually, but I've learned to work with them. I use a combination of Tamiya (in small amounts) and craft paints (Plaid brand, I believe). Indeed.a White Ape would not be an ideal creature to spend an evening in an alley way with. I seem to have a bit of a thing for four-armed characters.apparently my favorite thing is smashing two torsos together Have you read some of Burroughs' other books? Ah well.this is how the Ape would have looked had they made a film in thye sixties. The head sculpt was the most enjoyable aspect of this custom.I actually based the face on photos I had of gorillas, but I kind of think it ended up looking more like Cornelius from Planet of the Apes. Oodles of crazy pulp fun.I doubt they'll ever get the movie made s been in the works for eighty years. If ever you can find a copy of Princess of Mars, give it a read, man. Gil Kane illustrated the apes with a Mowhawk in the Marvel comics, which isn't quite what I had in mind. ![]() Actually, the apes are described as being completely hairless with the exception of a shock of white hair on their heads. I figured just painting the figure white would look bland and uninteresting, and so opted to give the ape a bleached, extremely pale caucasian tone. I wanted to reflect the description in the books, but also wanted to introduce a naturalistic element to the skin tone. The flesh color was tricky, sort of in the same way as Dejah Thoris. Let me know what you think, and thanks for looking. For a brief moment, I considered making him anatomically correct, but then decided to make him modestly androgynous. I really had quite a few logistical problems making this work, and he's not perfect, but in the end I'm pretty happy with how he turned out. The feet, legs, and arse, as well as the lower hands, were dirtied up with a mixture of red, brown, and black to emulate the infertile red soil of Barsoom's dying surface. As a final touch, I mixed metallic gold and copper and did a very light drybrush over much of the skin. I then drybrushed a mixture of white, flesh, and a dab of metallic copper. ![]() I then applied a layer of red, flesh, and metallic copper mixed together (with a dab of white) to give a fleshy, pinkish undercoat. After I primed, the first coat was metallic black and brown. I think he looks okay, though, even if the neck is pretty limited in how high it allows the chin to look. I didn't really have adequate fodder to add an ab crunch, and to be honest I was also too lazy to attempt such a major change this late in the game. Rather than try to save the articulation, which was pretty much useless, I decided to sculpt over it and give the torso more of a natural flow. I also took the suggestion that the mid ab joint on the lower Hulk torso could use to be altered. So, I built up the musculature to be bulkier than the upper set of arms. It was suggested to me on the Fwoosh that the forearms on the lower set of arms could be more developed, since the lower set of hands would probably be used in much the same way as a gorilla would use them. As you know, this custom is composed of two ML Series 1 Hulks, and about a thousand pounds of epoxy putty. I had Thursday and Friday off from work this week, so I decided to put them to good use. First off, I want to thank everyone for the feedback in the Slab.
