Re: Painting my first Head [Dexter Finished Photos Page2!]

GAH! I wished my girlfriend could paint my sculpts! That would be the best! Sharing hobbies and saving money at the same time. He's a lucky man

I just purchased a HT Bane lol. Need to restrain myself.
Otherwise, if anyone knows of a suitable body for Dexter let me know.

The next head I am painting is " The Dude" from Rainman.
Not sure if I'll keep him after. I kinda just have a crush on Jeff Bridges and I love painting heads!

Great job on Dexter. The Hot Toys TTM19 works best for Dexter IMO.

Re: Head Paint Jobs & First Try at a Diorama Page 3!

So I decided to try making my first 1:6 Scale Diorama for my HT Bane. Nothing too fancy. Just wanted to make a sort of Safe House setting for him when he is plotting in Georgia to get Dr. Pavel back or him in a room in West Africa. I'm just fangirling at this point.

Since it was my first diorama, I pretty much eyeballed it and try to see how far I can go with this. So far it's a basic room. I made a bookshelf too ( Will update later )

Windows are clear acetate and I will dirty the floors tomorrow. Also purchased a shotgun, some ammo, radio & more weapons later.

The documents are maps of Russia/ Nigeria and Cameron. Includes some Gotham Newspapers. Will probably make some scalled down passports and add a shelf with a hanger to hang weapons.

So far to build this, it only cost me 15$.

Great diorama!

Regarding Dexter's body, as already said, the TTM19 is a good choice. I think the Indiana Jones body is quite similar, and I feel the Joe Colton body may also work.

Thank you! It's a lot of fun getting the details. Can't wait to add a functioning lamp. More ammo!

Will the TTM19 body be too muscular? D: Oh wait, just googled it, seems pretty good. Although I am tempted just to get the Kumik set and switch bodies so I can give this Dexter figure for my bf for x mas... or keep it...

Re: Head Paint Jobs & First Try at a Diorama Page 3!

The TTM19 looks just right I think. Mine are both on TTM21 bodies though, but I may switch one of them out at some point.

Hey, you can always make more than one Dexter

@Dubby, noooo señor, I spent too much already.

@Rcardobsn I made the windows, I made everything in the diorama XD

The windows I used thin wood strips, cut and glued them on Acetate. Ill post a better pic of it.

The hardwood floor is just a scaled down Royalty free Photoshop texture. The wallpaper and floor graphic is then mounted on foamcore. Also planning to scour the floor a bit to give it a wood feel when I start dirtying tomorrow.

Quick photo of a bookshelf I made, I'll paint it much darker. Also added a smaller sidewall.

Thanks. Going to a local Toy store to see if they have military guns. In the meantime, doing some research to make 1:6 books.

Re: Head Paint Jobs & First Try at a Diorama Page 3!

I have never sewn a shirt nor pants before, so I gave it a shot. Was supposed to try sewing his Henley but I couldn't find the olive shade fabric, so I just made one of his generic short sleeved shirts.

I had to paint over a pair of black shoes since I don't think I'd get a pair of beige loafers in time.

Will see if my boyfriend wants me to mod his camera into a Nikon.

Re: First try at sewing finally Dexter Camera Casual Outfit + Blood Splatter Page 4

Is this a total surprise for your bf, or did he say he wanted a 1:6 Dexter? Great job on it too!

Re: First try at sewing finally Dexter Camera Casual Outfit + Blood Splatter Page 4

Yeah he knows, I couldn't keep it a secret XD

There's some really good stuff in here. That's the best I've seen that sculpt look. Great job all around.

Re: Matcha's Paints + Repaints. Update Rainman's The Dude WIP!

Started working on Rainman Dude head Comission. Some WIP shots! This is my second head painting. Took a while to build the skin tone layers. Very quick Hair color as base. Pastels and Acrylics. I am becoming a bit fond of him now haha

Re: Matcha's Paints + Repaints. Update Rainman's The Dude WIP!

Finished painting The Dude! This is my second full paint job. Feel a bit rusty but I really enjoyed doing it! Also forgive me for potato quality photos, iphone was acting bizarre.

THREAD EDIT Added better photos

Re: Matcha's Paints + Repaints. New Kylo Ren Face Paint!

So I got this Creg Custom Kylo Ren head sitting since last year. Figured I would paint him. It was my first time painting over translucent resin.Took a while to layer all the basic skin tones. Started in the late afternoon, so I will take better photos in the daylight another time!
