Hi guys. Ive taken a bit of a break from historical stuff. Just trying to have some fun. Here is my latest. It's Black Heart Enterprises Predator wall hanger bust. Its life size, so this guy is huge. I have been taking photos as ive been building it so ill post them with a little explanation:
I washed the pieces and left them out to dry over night. Then i glued the dreadlocks on using super glue and some 5 minute apoxie glue. The kit was pretty bad so i used some wood strips to screw it all together from the back. Lastly i mounted a saw tooth picture hanger on it to mount it to its temporary painting stand:
There was a huge gap between the dreadlocks and where they tied in to the crest on the skull. I used Aves Scultping Putty to tie them in. As you can see, the detail on this guy is unreal:
I made a glaze using Golden Acrylic Glazing Liquid and Golden Raw Umber paint. I painted it onto the skin detail, let it sit for a bit and then wiped it off. Once dry i misted over the skin with Garage Kit Color's (GKC) Predator Flesh:
