It’s a bit like a broken record but once again I’m working on the apes nearly full time. Although we did have a production meeting with Peter Fox and Dr. Chris Landon in the morning the rest of the day was spent catching upon orders.
I got the first batch of last week’s orders painted. And I painted the first test Orangutan. It took awhile to dial in the color. In pictures and clips they looked different every time. I mostly pulled on my memory of the actual appliances I worked with back in the day. And they were always painted and colored a little differently from makeup to makeup.
I tried it on to see how much movement I might get out of this new batch of latex I got from the Burman’s recently. It moved very well. I can only imagine how well it would move if one was to glue it to one’s face.
Today I put the teeth and hair on this mask. Another test to see if the hair looks right.
I poured the chimp mask order in the new mold and that should come out today.
All the masks will get their hair today if possible and the first one shipped in the order they were received tomorrow.
