With real hair for the beard and hair, I assume? That's the one thing that I haven't seen done so far, and I think it would look amazing.

Yes of course.

I'm also working on an Aragorn with real hair.

So use "fake snow" for fake snow... I could've worked that out, sorry man - wondered if there was some amazing product I'd never heard of before... turns out there isn't, but the glue and the tipping with paint I'd never have done - so thanks!

I haven't been visitting the thread as much as I should, as THERE'S OVER 1000 PAGES!

Far better to jump in on questions and ask - don't you think??? Thanks for the replies - but I'll go quiet for a bit - cos the ****ing "That thread is so old - what are you doing bumping it" Police have just been overtaken by the "Doesn't he know to use fake snow for fake snow" Police

I dont really know how i should take this.

the ´seems like you never visit this thread´ was a joke. The fake snow question gets back all the time and i must have answered that one a million times. I think ii should just stick some tips on the first page.

But if you need help you are always welcome to ask.

Oooo! This is gonna be good!



What sculpt are you using? And do you have a trick for making the hair look wet? (Whether it was rain, sweat or orc blood, I think he spent the entire trilogy with wet hair!)

I am using the erick sosa eastern promises viggo. I dremeled the hair and added the light beard.

Hey Seb how do you add real hair again?
Nazgul looks amazing.

Seb probably spends equal amounts of time answering questions about customizing as working on figures

But, in all honesty having a "Seb's tips" page might not be a bad idea You could put it somwhere in the first page of your thread, collect all of your greatest hits and just direct people there when they ask the same question. I know I've been guilty of it, or I've asked a question and before I got a chance to practice I forgot the answer

I totally agree with GB.

Though I don't think I've ever asked the same question twice, I have bothered him with a lot (and I mean a LOT) of questions. Late or not, Seb has always made it a point to write back sharing exactly how it was done and even break up builds. He's always been a helpful resource and I'm really thankful to him for that.

My RIngwraith is now completely done.

I dye the whole outfit black to match the material I used of rthe hood and the rest of the outfit. Gave it a fresh new weathering.
THere is actually nothing under the hood, no armature, nothing. Just a black hole.

To do this I put the cloth in a mix of glue and water. I put it on the figure with a head under there and shape it. Once I get thedesired shape I let it dry over the night. Removed the head and now the hood keeps his form while still able to pose it.

I also gave the armor a repaint.

Frightening! FYI liquid starch works wonders in making fabric stiff as well.

Got any room for some witch king? Or is this NAZGUL the last?

Technically, it is the Witch-King based on the type of the sword he is holding. He would simply need the helmet to make it look like ROTK Witch-King.


Oh...and his massive mace, of course

Re: Elvis1976 custom's•PUNISHER•RAMBO•TLOU•ELYSIUM(updated)•HALO •THE SAFS project•NA

Techniacally it is the Withc King indeed.
He wounded Frodo on Mount Doom and was dressed like the other Ringwraith.

But yes I also have the Witch King in armor which i'm also reworking.
