Goonies one eyed willie progress thread

Well I decided to try my hand at making a one eyed willie from Goonies. I picked up a couple cheap skulls off ebay. I think they are called Bucky skulls. At $16 a pop well worth it. This is how far I have got. Filled in the holes from the jaw holder and clasps to keep on top of skull with bondo. Then filled in his eye socket with Aves epoxy sculpt and reshaped the teeth with a dremel and formed them with some more Aves epoxy. Then sanded the bondo and applied a coat of krylon primer. That is where I am at now until I go pick up the paint for the color of the skull. Let me know what you think.
Also have to figure out how I want to attach the jaw. Was thinking screws but I might try something else.

Hey,
:lol I'm going to be keeping this one. I do have any extra skull I can make you one if you want to trade for a couple paper props? shoot me a pm. Glad you like it, I wasn't sure on the Aves Epoxy sculpt but it worked really well for filling in the eye and is solid as a rock.

Thanks for all the comments. I hopefully will be finished with this one by next week. I have had a couple inquiries to making some for others. This is just a build thread and if I decide to make some I will post details in the junkyard. Thanks again for the comments much appreciated.

Ahh, Goonies.

My kids are finally old enough to sit through the movie and now it's the only one they want to watch. :)

There should be a "Like" button around here...

Hot glue gun worked great for me and doesn't ruin the skull.The jaw still hasn't fallen off it yet and it's been like 3 months you should try it.

Very, very cool! Incidentally- does anyone know if that's a cigar in his mouth when you first see him in the movie? It looks to be gone in later scenes.
 
well, thought I would update my progress while I have time. Before I left for comic con I was able to put down the base coat and highlight coat. I will post pictures that I took later this weekend. I really liked how it turned out. I used a combination of pebble and boot brown(yea that is the color they had:lol) and it really turned out nice. I sprayed a little black primer in the eye and nose sockets to darken it well. It came out lighter then pitbull's but I figure with the right lighting it will look darker. Plus I really like the lighter bone color for it. Hope you like it when I get pics up.
