The secret is in the details...

Thank god i have a magnifier headband or I could never paint some of these tiny things.

Anyway, I am just about done painting the heads. After that the boots and clothing should be a breeze!  :oops:

Not sure why but I seemed to have added 20 years to the actor's actual age with my re-sculpt of the Galileo Interior kit's Kirk head.

Also, I layed on the enamel for his hair real thick then dotted at it with a fine microbrush leaving it to dry with a little lumpy texture like real hair.

He does have a sort of annoyed smirk though much like the emotions the character's face showed.


McCoy head painted:

He is looking to his right. Maybe a little concerned about something.

Kudos to Round2, their kit's McCoy head really does look like McCoy, a great sculpt.


Spock and Guetano heads painted:

The secret to Spock was the upward curl  at the tips of his eyebrows.

I aadded a little yellow and olive to the mix for his skin tone.  :vulcan2:

I also added brown and dark blue to the black enamel for the hair.

Guetano looks sorta...:thinking:... mousy?

Much like the character in the episode IMO.


Scotty and Latimer heads in progress:

Eyes are almost done; just need their iris's dotted.

Then need eyebrows, lips, and hair painted.




Thanks for your comments!
