Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I'll give her a go.
For the life of me, I cannot recall who sculpted this little guy! Please step forward if you know!
So, I've had this little resin cast "Allo Worm" from Labyrinth that someone on the RPF sculpted and sold copies of years and years ago.
Shortly after the run, folks went searching for proper glass eyes to insert into his cranium. I bought a pair as well, with the intention of making the modification some day. Didn't think it'd take 10+ years, but I reckon it did!
I finally grew the balls to Dremel into this little fellow's head after chopping it off with a cutoff wheel. I've gone to town caving out the skull, and it's some pretty serious delicate work. I cannot eff this up! Has to be right the first time! I mean, I'm gonna use some Bondo or something to reattach his head when I'm done, and the brushed paint job from 10+ years ago will get an upgrade, but the seam in the neck will thankfully be covered by his little red scarf.
I never added his blue hairs, but I have them in a baggie, and they'll go on last.
This kind of resin prop surgery is slightly new territory for me, because it's a cast of a creature/character, not a blaster or a lightsaber or anything inanimate.
Y'all wish me luck! Back to hollowing out a worm's skull!!
And if any of you have done this very same project, please chime in with any advice, tips, and please show off your Allo Worm as well!!!
