Looks to me like the sculpt was yellow, has been primed with grey paint and then sanded / tidied up in those areas.

The yellow " stuff " could be a two part epoxy sculpting clay or remnants of the resin cast after being cleaned up.

thanks for your reply, i don't think so its could be a clay because i saw once that an artest doing it on this sculpt found on Ebay

looks a bit like sanded off grey primer on a cheap recast of bobbyC`s joker

if you want to resculpt an existing resin cast, you can use a 2part putty like milliput superfine
it hardens without baking and can be smoothed with water while it isn`t cured
And sanded/drilled whatever when it is cured.

Tamiya polyester putty maybe. It's got the same coloration and could be easily sanded, but as any polyester putty, it's a lot more toxic and smellier than epoxies and other alternatives. The advantage is that it cures in 1 hour aprox and it's thin enough for miniature work.

I'd suggest you consider the white tamiya putty or some epoxy based like milliput. If you really want it and don't have access to tamiya products, some other polyester putty from an auto repair shop should also work similarly.

That's a fix on what people thought to be troubled spots. The nose and chin. So they fixed it

I am a serious avid collector of 1/6 Scale Figures, and have been collecting these highly detailed figures for the past 7 years now, and I am finally looking forward to a 1:6 scale figure of two for my favorite and well known Bollywood Actors Shahrukh Khan and Kajol. They are quite the on screen couple and I would personally like to Capture their presence in my 1:6 scale collection.There is one particular Super Hit movie in which they both starred in which just completed 1000 weeks of uninterrupted running at the movies from which I would like to Capture their unique characters its call "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" I have been a huge fan of this movie for the past 20 years. Therefore, I would like to know and get suggestions as to who I can contact for these custom figures & exactly what are the requirements for an artist / sculptor from me in order to acquire the 1:6th Scale for these 2 Actors?? Also, I would like a price quote for the Highly Detailed painting of the 2 figures along with the Attire and Clothing for these 2 figures ( I will let you know exactly what type of clothing / attire style I will be looking for from the Movie its self). For your convenience, you can find the Pictures of these two actors as soon as you Search on the internet with the above mentioned movies name, it is quite a famous movie. Please respond as soon as possible along with the Total Price Quote. Thank you once again.

Yours Sincerely,
Avi Datta
