Post Butcher Brand what I am working on...
Hey there peeps, I just wanted to share some pics of what I am working on at the moment. This is Slime Ape. This is a work in progress as you can tell so keep in mind he is still quite rough. I am working on getting the torso/main body done first then onto the arms. Plans are to have arm articulation for this version. Hope you guys dig him as much as I dig making him.

I love that....what's with the arms...is it plugged? If so how are you going to cast it? How do they come apart since they seem attached at the moment? Can you show us pics unattached? Looks shmick.

Thanks guys. This is all castilene at this point so I just heated the base of the arm and attached it to the torso.

The arms will be cast seperate from the body and I will attach them with magnets.

Thanks again for the positive vibes. Here are some progress shots from today. I've been reworking the arms, and I am considering having a few different arms so you can change them depending on what the scenario is. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

I know it's not the intention but in those latest shots you get an idea of what the completed figure might look like with a "rub" paint job. Keep us posted!

Been busy today, here are some pics...

poured some resin
Image
then did a test pull of the arms and torso.

Quick dremel job and put him together. This should give you guys an idea of how he will look. I eyeballed the drill points in the body and arms so this one is off a bit. No worries cause this will be my "figure out how to get everything right" one off. :D
Image
and his back

Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks again for all of the feedback.

Tar Ape!

glad you're finding time for progress...haven't much to add, but curious about what kind of color/paint scheme you've got in mind for the first run?

Decided to just update this thread with whatever sculpts I am currently working on. Here is a Gillman homage (my favorite all time monster). Did this with some materials that I have never used before, La Doll clay and Premium to be exact. Fun stuff. Hope you guys enjoy...

Nice Butch! I like the stance and weight of the ape. Looks like it fits in the hand well.
Hope to see your new stuff this weekend.
