Zira Appliance on me

Before I trimmed off the excess foam. I still have to cut more around the eyes but I was afraid to. Amazing how the mask if quite expressive!

Apemania Zira Appliance

She is a thing of beauty. Why didn't I order this sooner?

Zira Apemania Appliance

It was delivered to my work address yesterday. I am dying to go home and put it on. It's gorgeous. I ordered it raw, but somebody has put paint on it. It's absolutely gorgeous and fits my face so nicely. Brian even threw in a set of Zira teeth. How nice of him. Sooooo exciting. I was thinking of making my own deluxe pullover hood. Thank goodness my mom did not throw out my pattern that I had made from Greg's mask. Yay! My ape dreams are slowly coming true.

Cornelius, Mego Scale

I have some crazy plans for Cornelius. I'm currently sanding down his neck plug into a ball joint, for better poseability. He should be able to look up and down instead of just sideways. I want to photograph him writing down something or looking in a manila folder. I think that would look cool.

Nancy Kwan

A stranger once told me I looked like Nancy Kwan. I didn't know who that was and had to look it up. I don't see the resemblance, though.

Mego scale Cornelius

The head as you know is an enlarged Medicom Sculpt with minor modifications. I sanded down the pompadour and resculpted hair and ears with Apoxie. Then, I repainted his face. The shine of the face was cut down by adding baby powder to the face paint before application.

I really love this photograph, as the flowers are also in focus. Lucky shot, since it was taken with the settings on auto, macro setting. I love how the light and shadow plays on his face.



Here he is almost looking at the camera:

Hot Off the Apevine!!

There are rumors of a Fox/Apemania promotion of the 40th Anniversary and BluRay release of the Planet of the Apes last week of November through first week of December. Exact date and venue still a moving target. It would be lovely to go ape with my simian friends on that side of the pond!!

I am to be in Manchester around that time. What are the chances of me being able to make it to London in full ape regalia? How do I go about it? Do I rent a room for one night and put on my makeup for the event...? (It takes six hours to put on the makeup)...Will I be able to release the family chains so I could go ape with my simian buddies?????

I already told my SIL, and she was not very pleased...The future could be bright, but the negative energy is dulling the shine....

Chimp shoe saga...

Here is one of the shoes I have created. It looks beautiful after being covered up in this delicious dark cocoa brown fabric:

Too bad...!

I lost the bid for this very cute laboratory set, 1/6 scale, which would have been perfect for Zira's laboratory.
