Re: 8BC CUSTOMS THREAD: ZOMBIES•ZOMBIES•ZOMBIES & a little military

as stated previously, i decided to quit hiding the nude, plastic neck and texture/paint up the darned thing. i sprayed the neck with about 3 or 4 coats of dullcote, then took an old brush that was stuck together, cut the bristles into about 4 "prongs", dipped the brush in matte medium and dragged it across the neck, turning it while doing so a la a turntable. after that dried, i mixed and color matched my neck to skin tone, then mixed that up with a bit more matte medium and applied. i dull coated to downplay gloss then reapplied future floor shine where i wanted it.

i was going to originally color-match sculpey then apply a small layer over the next to sculpt detail/definition into. i did this, but the neck was too burly and didn't look right.

i also went on thread patrol and cut away any potential loose threads or hems that would interfere with the neckline of the overshirt.

Re: 8BC CUSTOMS THREAD: ZOMBIES•ZOMBIES•ZOMBIES & a little military

when i switched out the head on the seal for the marine head, i was reminded that the fit was so tight on the marine's helmet i had to glue it. well, when removing the helmet strap, it broke, but that is ok because i'm going to turn the whole shebang into a zombie marine...

i'm going to go ahead and post the 360º view photos before i get back to moodier presentation photos. thanks again for checking out major tom.

imagine major tom slowly floating towards you. his visor is up and if he gets too close, who is to say he won't bite through your pressurized suit? if not your bare flesh...

i really tried to pull the stand-back out to the max to try and create a floating effect, but it was starting to compromise the center of gravity and was just shy of toppling the figure front face forward

Maybe if you put some heavy duty magnets on the bottom of the stand or made yourself a custom stand to have him hover higher? You're a clever boy, I'm sure you'll figure something out.


vvvv Brilliant use of Bowie! vvvv
