Arnold T2 stage six battle damage head sculpt and figure.

Hi,

An update and request for comments and suggestions on the painting of this figure.

I wont repost the old pics which lead up to this stage, but any comments on any area is welcome, nothing if finished till its sitting on the shelf.

I have as some have suggested put a darker skin tone wash of his face, but I have been focusing on trying to get the leather, well! looking like leather.

I used an off white, mat black, and gloss black mix over an off white undercoat. I painted the leather areas a solid colour then rubbed areas with a hard paint brush to remove paint in areas that I wanted to be worn and scuffed. I then used the same mix with again a stiff paint brush using a stipple affect.

I have not painted zips, buckles etc untill I am happy with the leather look.

The camera takes the pics much lighter than it acualy is, I tried all settings but same or worse affect.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

Looks pretty good! Try taking pics further back and zooming in. Daylight is also much kinder than camera flash. I'm still liking the facial rework!
Some macro shots please?

Thanks clancampbell,

I played a little with the camera, got a few shots that worked.

Closer look at the leather affect as well.

Hi,

Since starting this figure a while back I was never fylly happy with my resculpt of the head. So on and off I have worked on it. I cut the neck off and may try and make a new neck so as to be able to move his head a bit. The head is only held on with tissue paper for the moment. Any comments on any improvement I can make to get the arnold expressions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking

Re: 1/5th Arnold T2 stage six battle damage head sculpt and figure.

Should this thread be in here or general modeling? It started in the general forum.

Looks cool, I've seen kits in the general modeling area mostly, but it is a head sculpt too though so who knows....lol
