Planet of the apes. General Ursus

[Tobor the great]

All done. It was a long time coming.
This was my first outing in my homemade General Ursus costume.
I got to scare some little kids so I guess they're telling me the costume looks ok

Now that looks pretty fabulous!!!!

You rock, Alf!!!
FYI, I'll be reengineering my Ursus cast... getting a positive back to full scale so I can foam latex it (wish me luck). I'll be using the smaller version (16% smaller than full scale) to make a pull-over for my son... Father-and-son soldier apes would rock!! I've got just over four months to be ready for the local Con - wish me luck!!!!

What did you make the helmet and "jacket" thing out of?

The helmet is paper mache' and the vest is just some scrap vinyl but had to make all the armour plates one at a time. Almost 250 of them.
