Noob question. what does it do? and improve on? its 1:30am and i cant concentrate. haha
 
Re: T.bowen's customs

noob answer lol, dont realy know what im doing just having a play around.

it allows the colour of the cast to come through ,but only if is skin tone to start with .if done rite lol, you get a more natural flesh look .i think any ways not every one likes it.plus alot of figure companies are doing it so your customs wont look so wierd next to them.also helped these heads not look so caked up coz alot less layers go on.

T, do you have any SS Luke heads you can repaint with this technique?

Maybe the Tatoonie (Moisture Farmer) head ?
 
Re: T.bowen's customs

i think i have a bespin luke? from ss but would have to strip the paint.not sure if hes skin tone underneath.i could try casting it in a nice skintone resin wich i have on the way??.

The Bespin kinda looks sucky. I think after the Stormie LUke sculpt the Moisture farmer one is the closest, but I may be mistaken since I don't have any in-hand.

Wow man... great work on these. The translucent stuff looks particularly nice. It gives it almost a factory look compared to being a custom. Sadly not a lot of heads start life out cast in color.

Nope, Luke is kind an off-white if I remember correctly.

thanks mate,thats what i like about it aswell (the sorta factory look) rather than looking like a back yard job lol.still have a ways to go i think but getting there.


ok thanks for the heads up on luke,the translucent paint wont work on him.
