Desert Hunter and Usurper Wolf paint up

Hell yeah dude, that looks killer! Did you cut the dread tips at an angle before you attached them or did you just attach them as is?
 
Awesome paint on the bio. There's a streak of rust down the left brow ridge that makes it look like it was sitting underneath a rain spout or something similar constantly dripping water over it. Very neat effect, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it just adds to the thought that the mask has been unused for a long time.

Thanks! Yeah, that was part of the baking effect with the heat gun, there was a few more drips that i took off but i left a couple on.

Nah, i didnt cut the dreads, but i should have, especially for the shorter ones near the face. I'll know better next time!

Loving the paint ups so far on yer Wolf buddy, this is coming along really nicely! keep us posted! :)

Cheers! Glad you like it, ill have some more updates soon!

Thanks a lot!

I think that instead of mesh that you should use a reflective eye piece like in the celtics. It just makes sense since it's desert that you would want to reflect the light from your eyes. I dunno, just a thought. =P

Its a good idea mate, and it makes sense. But im going for a 'Mad Max' style, so im trying to keep it looking low-tech. But I will take the idea on board, because it makes sense

Here's a picture of the magnets I got (sorry if the image is huge, iPhone photobucket doesn't let me resize):

They are far more powerful than I thought they would be! I think one in the mask and one in the bio will work, but I have had no experience with them. They are really string though, within 5min of them arriving I'd pinched myself twice, drawing blood!

Fantastic work mate! The bio is incredible.

Thanks a lot bro, glad you like it!

Where did you get your magnets from?

I got mine from eBay, they were pretty damn expensive but it was the cheapest I found. Cost me $80 for 10 with shipping to Australia. I found a place just near where I live that sell them direct, but they quoted me $100 for 10 slightly smaller ones.
 
My friend, this is stellar work. I am very impressed with the technique of the rusting. I do a lot of patina and rust work on some of my sculptures, and I must say this has me rethinking some of my processes.
You get a complete A+ and commendations.

Great Job.
 
looks awesome dude, if ever in need of magnets again check out http://www.kjmagnetics.com
I swear by there rare earth but you have to be careful how big you get or you will never be able to separate them, i use in all my project from gunpla to resin kits.

Thanks mate, yeah i had heaps of fun on the rusty-ancient and ill likely do some more rust-ups in the future! Hell yean, get some rust on that stunt bro!

Heres a pic of the Usurper Wolf now with a set of Froggy's glass Wolf Eyes:

They are really cool, and at only $30 they add a whole new dimension and really bring the mask to life while on display. Sorry if this sounds like an advertisement, but i was blown away by the difference it made. I have the mask in the living room looking outside to where my housemate goes to smoke, and when it was eyeless he said "it looks cool, but it needs eyes" so when i saw Froggy offering some i grabbed a set and installed them. The nexy day i find the mask turned around so its not staring at my housemate anymore

Thanks for looking!
