Title: Cavemen meet Gigantopithecus
Post by: Snafu on 31 October 2013, 02:01:19 PM

This Gigantopithecus was excavated from the bottom of a box of plastic toys at a local flea market at 20ct a piece.  ;)
Originally it had a smooth shiny black surface.
Used some rough sandpaper on it to provide some kind of fur structures and painted it in brownish colours.

For the cavemen see here. http://ganzklein.blogspot.de/2012/03/mammoth-hunter.html (http://ganzklein.blogspot.de/2012/03/mammoth-hunter.html)

Lovely repurposing.  The diorama looks great together as well.

Interesting diorama.  It's amazing what you can find for cheap at flea markets!   :)
