Adding Hair to action figure question

[Knightmare]

Ok I was thinking of adding hair to a Werewolf figure. Any idea what I can use to look like brown fur ? I have to be able to cut it into small pieces .

Synthetic wig hair?

It all depends on the scale. Also what material is the werewolf made off?

I have made a full Chewbacca in the past.

Wigging a head

Some folks noticed that the 85th Foot figure I posted here recently had "real" hair , so I thought I would post a quick rundown of my method . You can use Doll's hair ( sold in most Doll's House shops ) , Crepe hair from a Theatrical supplier ( or Joke shop ! ) or use Funfur , either bought from...

Its resin

I would go for Crepe hair or kanekalon synthetic hair. You can find this online and attach with silicone caulk.

Where are you in the world?

It really depends on scale. I only recently (and briefly) tried my hand at "rooting" on a custom 1/6th head and got stuck figuring how to go about facial hair and kind of lost steam on the project. For the head though, I had to use Tibetan Lamb Hair to match scale. It comes in a variety of shades and colors, and takes dye easy enough from what I've read.

It was mentioned before, but it really depends on the scale, or else you'll get something that looks like a piece of chewing gum dropped on the barbershop floor. In order to make this look more realistic, you'll have to painstakingly glue the hairs in layers working from rear to front trimming as you go.

Are you certain that model is resin? The casting marks make me think it might be made out of vinyl or a plastic that might not take glue well.

Watch this video.

and this one.

They make it look easy, but this does take a LOT of practice. I'd recommend starting on a test piece before you try it on your figure.
