CHECK IT OUT!!!
I just found a new source of the correct gun for the Joker! It's an even nicer gun than the 21st Century one no one can find!

Here's a picture of a real S&W M76

Here's one made by Dragon Models Limited!

The only drawback is that no one has it as loose parts any more, because the figure came out in 2002, so it will run you at least $34. (Cheapest one I saw surfing around)

It comes with "Jake", a Vietnam-era figure.

Here it is in the package. I know there are a lot of you that are like me and want as accurate as possible, so I figured I'd share.
Another tip: If you want a lot of knives for your joker, hit sites like monkeydepot.com and order knives from the loose parts sales. That's what I did, I have a pile of 1:6 knives on the way to me now!

While similiar in look, that's not the same gun he uses in the movie.

edit: Just to clarify, I'm talking about the 'Jake' gun. The one in the film is an m76, the one with Jake looks like a different variation of the gun.

Well, there are a lot of possible approaches. But as long as you're just doing a touch-up, I would start conservatively, because you can't really take something back once you've painted black or red on his face. You'll have to repaint the white greasepaint, and matching the shade of white that HT used is difficult.

I would just use black around the eyes, and not do a gradient like Hot Toys did. It should be a bit more of a sudden transition from black to white. However, I think it looks good to have the black going down into his wrinkles a bit to make the bottom edge a little ragged. Also don't forget that he has makeup up on his eyebrows a bit as well. I personally wouldn't go up onto the forehead, since it looks to me like he's got bushy eyebrows and I don't recall it looking like that in the film.

As for the lips, I'd look at some pictures from the movie to get a general idea (although his makeup changed a lot from scene to scene). I used brown and red mixed together for the inside of his scars, red for his lipstick in general, and red with a little white (making dark pink) to add some highlights. I also used some gloss cote to make his lips look wet since he was always licking them in the film. For his upper lip, only put a small amount of red on the lips themselves, and don't go up onto the upper lip. I did that at first and it looked off.

That's about it, I guess. My approach is just one of many though.

By the looks of this pic. it looks like the make up doesn't need much just a little black around the eyes(heath ledger box pic.) and the eyes need just a little more eye lids and thats it, maybe that would help to make it look more like Heath.

Looks like the body could use the shoulders sanded down at an angle. Looks a little broad to me.

That sounds like a good call but I am so ham handed I would never attempt this on my own!
