My first 1/6 custom

[Rock83]

This is my very first project with 1/6 figures,so i wanted to make a naked Snake out of my extra Zombie Snake.

So far ive only painted the skin colour,next is the beard,any advice would be appreciated,as im a newbie on this.

Thanks

I got so irritated by the paint the first time,i guess i should have practiced more before i started on this Snake,i managed to solve it,found a right mix and tried to paint it from the start again.I think this new colour is much better than my first "Latino" Skin tone

Looks good so far man, keep at it. This stuff takes a lot of practice, but it's rewarding as Hell.

"Is there anything that can remove acryl paint?I I messed up."

You can always placing the head in a cup full of soapy water over night if its made of hard plastic then you can peel it off but u may need to do it a few times. I have done this a few times as we do this to remove paint from brushes at work.

Looking good so far btw

Too glossy brown but that works for me,not as near as glossy looking as it shows here in person.Ill check next time i go to the shop im buying the paint,if i find a Matt Brown ill repaint the beard.

eyes are left now,maybe correct the beard on his upper lip a bit.

 

[Voorhees27]

Didn't I tell you to just buy a new head?

 

[Rock83]

Here is the final result,i got hold of Matt brown so it worked well in the end.Snake originally has brighter Hair and Beard,but i didnt want to paint the hair so i just used the same brown colour for the beard,let me know what you think:

 

[Les Walker]

Very nice!

 

[Bat Eater]

looks awesome

 

[Voorhees27]

Good job Espen, it looks a hell of alot better than anything I could ever whip up!

 

[Sniper33]

zombie snake....you monster!! either way pretty good job with the painting.

Head's lookin' good. He looks meaner in my opinion, possibly because of the shade of brown used for the facial hair. Keep up the good work.
