Thanks all + Asmus!
Labor of love, I do see why Asmus didn't go with a real beard and as you can see I left the hair because I think it works and is well executed for synthetic rooted hair, so I'm all for hair but I did think the mixing with a plastic beard was weird. But I always thought this was one of the best Asmus sculpts so I was eager to do him for ages but I sort of needed the LOTR offerings to fill out a bit more .
But yes as I mentioned in another one of these threads current tech doesn't let any way for something like this to be done in a mass way... the beard is more tacked on than punched or rooted.
Hot toys recently attempted this with their yoda but it's so crude in order to look right it takes care and percision. Also the hair apparently wipes right off of yoda.
