Battlestar Galactica - anyone up for a Baltar head?

[SpawnFan]

I'd love to see pics when someone finishes one, I hope there is still hope that it will look like Baltar but I am not really convinced by the first painted pic we saw.

Where was that pic posted again ?

 

[SpawnFan]

Not sure... I was looking for it just now but I can't find it.

It's probably buried 20 pages deep in Josh's custom thread.

As soon as I get my Baltar head, I'll paint him up quick! Hopefully soon.

WTF !!! You havent got yours yet and its not being painted ?

Ive had mine in with Darren Carnell for 3 - 4 months now ! Had it sent direct from Lonnie so why you shouldnt have had yours for 3 months unpainted is a bit of a suprise !

Yeah. Awhile back I asked if DA could give it a coat of primer -- because the plan was I would paint the one figure and I didn't want to buy primer just for one figure. I think that seems to be the hold up. Had I known how busy he was I would not have asked.

On the up side, I have taught myself to paint in the interim. I did all the guys in my signature in that time -- so much for my plan of painting one figure and calling it quits. So hopefully it will all translate into a rocking Baltar. Eventually.

Hey everyone, sorry to be chiming in here a little late,
but did everyone get their baltar sculpt alright?

Sorry about the problems of the hair getting in the way, I was quite iffy about the long hair in the beginning because of that problem.

If anyone did not get their Baltar sculpt or something happened to it, please PM me and I will try and sort it out. I don't mind paying the caster for some more castings if anyone did not ever get their castings, it was my fault for having dragged the commission for so long.
Josh helped me a bunch and I owe him a lot of thanks,

PAINTING UPDATE: It's nothing short of a miracle! I was finishing the base coat on my Baltar head, and oh my frakking god, right there as I was holding it appeared an image of Jesus! I thought his image was supposed to be busy in a water stain on a wall somewhere but apparently, no, his image wanted to grace my Baltar head. I was about to sell the miracle head on eBay, which seems to be the Christian thing to do, but then my girlfriend reminded me that I'm a Humanist and that I should paint over the image. I fixed his beard and his hair and now he looks like James Callis again.

So I pretty much painted the head a couple weeks ago but I've been figuring out how to deal with the neck. First I expanded the drilled hole so it would fit on the neck connector -- but that sent fine resin dust onto the paint job and that created its own problems... Then I attached the head and dressed up the body and that's when I realized what everyone has been talking about concerning the hair. So I had to sculpt a neck extension on the body (which meant I never had to drill the neck in the first place). Anyway...

Here's a severed head photo. I think it needs sunlight to fully catch the paint job so more pictures will be coming.

Now you see that right there is Baltar and I want one (Ill go ask Darren Carnell for an update on mine thx) Its also reminded me that Ive BSG helmets in the garage that wont finish themselves
