Here's my Merle WIP. Worst head to dremel ever. Not sure what this guy makes his casts from but so much dust and debris.

Now if I can just figure how Elvis made little Merle...

Looks good. Interesting clothing choices.

Same here. I want mine to be real metal too.

I hear you on those pants. The dye I used didn't exactly match the correct color and the thread now stands out. I'll repaint the pants with acrylics to closer match his TV pants. Fingers crossed!
 
Re: Zebraten's customs/Merle TWD/Golden Age Flash/Green Arrow/Big Daddy

is that Merle head the one on ebay right now?

Yes it is. But you have to dremel/remove the neck it comes with and it was a pain due to the material he used to cast the sculpt in. Just time consuming and messy.

damn. Is the head that bulbous in hand? or is that just the angle of the pic?

It's not just the pic. He is a lightbulb head. I think it's just the sculpters style. Very stylized almost caricature. The thing is, Rooker is kinda a light bulb head in real life. Thin neck, big head. But the sculpt really exaggerates that. I may have to put him on a bigger body, which I really didn't want to do because he's not that built; rather he is sinewy.

You know you can just order the sculpt neckless right? That's what I did.

:exactly: But I have had his sculpts before, dremeling them is a mess. You probably still will have to with the neck less one as well, to get it to fit the neck. :wave
 
Re: Zebraten's customs/Merle TWD/Golden Age Flash/Green Arrow/Big Daddy

I,ve Got Merle in the post, coming from Joey aswell ;) he,s offering neckless versions now too!!

Wish the head was painted better, to go with a necked muscle body - so damn pale, the head will not match any :monkey2

Joey Does have his own style - slightly cartoonish - but his prices are CRAZY GOOD :)

Unfortunately Joel is right, the only other sculpt I've bought from this dude had to be modified even though it was neckless. What does this guy cast his heads with? Chalk? :lol Must be the cheapest of the cheapest resins.

Ah that's disappointing. I think with a ttm19 it will look a little better. I hope the head will fit onto the neck properly. Dude's sculpt are cartoony for sure, I think this is his best work yet though.

Carl is looking sick Doug! Awesome work my friend!

Boy I feel dumb. Would have saved me a ton of dremel work if I bothered to ask him that. Oh well. I ordered a second Merle head and requested a neckless version this time.

Anyway, here is a small update on Merle. Weathered a bit and pants a better color. I added muscle to his left arm. Still need to paint his head and chest/neck. Head way too pale.

Thanks, guys!

I know. I cut the neck off his Daryl and almost died. I want to mod Rick and definitely need to do the same to Merle but I'm afraid. So afraid.

I have ground up lots of resin heads but have really never had the amount of dust and flying chunks as I had on these heads.
