Steve built Aurora’s scale General Ursus from “Planet of the Apes” and guesses the scale is 1/6. “This was my first figure,” he says, “and it was all hand-painted with whatever color I found worked. The yellow wall was Humbrol linen, the black leather was Tamiya acrylic black, etc. I used a variety of paints and weathering techniques: artist’s oil washes for ground and wall, dry-brushed face, Testors flat for the finish on the pants, and Pledge Future floor polish for glossy areas like the leather. The only extra was a drilled-out gun barrel. It won 3rd place at ModelZona 2011 and I was thrilled! Always loved the apes! There is no manipulation of the photo, just a flashlight shining on his face (ooo-ooo).”
