Re: Fettster joker paint up
I just bought one of these five busts from an rpf member and will be painting it and applying hair. Mind if I ask you a couple of questions?
Where did you get the wig you are using? It looks perfect !
What kind of green hair product did you use and how did you get that greasy look ?
What glue are you using to attach the hair?
Thanks, so much!

Re: Fettster joker paint up
Hi this was the wig I went for Curly Straight Medium Natural Blonde Full Wig Plus Hair Piece Clip In | eBay
What I did was once trimmed, I sprayed it in layers with green and then brown using plasticoat spray paint. To grease it up, I used wet hair gel and hair spray. You could probably use baby oil as iv used that in the past. Glue was gorilla glue.
Hope this helps.

Re: Fettster joker paint up
I do agree with Matt but it all depending on if you are going to cover the whole head or just partly cover.
I use a hot glue gun as its quick and strong and not as mess plus if your unhappy with a piece you have stuck down you can use the tip of the gun to remelt the glue and remove and also use it to blend in the hair line by pushing the hair with the tip of the gun so end up with an even spread and not clumps of random hair.

Gorilla glue! Never would have guessed. I am assuming the clear stuff in the little bottle, not the amber expanding stuff in the bigger bottles?
Did you glue the largely intact wig on for the back and use individual hairs for the hairline? Cut the wig into strips for the back? Individual hairs for the whole thing?
Thanks, again!

Darkist,
Thank you! Boy, I almost need a video to envision your technique but I love the idea of the reversibility of hot glue!
I think I might try strips of wig for the back.
For the detailed areas, what I am imagining is:
apply a small, thin spot of transparent hot glue to the bust and then press in end-wise a small "bundle" of hair, freshly cut so that all the ends are even. Angle the "bundle" so it matches the angle at which real hair would emerge from the scalp in that area (radiating outward from the central whorl on the crown, for example.)
I am guessing you begin at the nape of the neck and come up to the crown, overlapping "bundles" like shingles on a roof, then work up the sides and, finally forward to the frontal hairline?
This would be almost like laying a beard with crepe hair and spirit gum, except, because the hot glue is thicker, you can press just the ends in, not glue down the sides of the ends, if that makes sense.
Sorry to go on at such length but I can't search out a detailed step by step of "hair on resin!"
Thanks, guys, for your time!

Re: Fettster joker paint up
While we are at it, anyone know of a good discussion/tutorial on installing "glass" eyes into a 1:1 resin bust?
After dremeling the eye area quite thin, I am thinking to hot glue a piece of stretchy fabric over the back of the eyeball, keeping all the glue just between the fabric and the bust and not on the eye. Then you could "aim" the eyes from the front by rolling them with something slightly sticky (tape tab?) Once aimed, if the fabric was pulled tight enough, I think they would stay as set. This would allow playing with alignment and expression which is so critical.

Re: Fettster joker paint up
ahoudini,
Yes sorry it would be better to have a video step by step
my have to post something on you tube.
Sounds like you got the right idea, start with some fresh cut strands of hair ready for applying and pick a bunch up and trim so you have a nice neat end to the bunch, apply the glue to the hair NOT the bust! and then press the hair with the glue applied to the hair down on the the bust where you want to start.
You want to start at the bottom of the neck and work your way round either side till you get to the ears then from the line you have made with hair from ear to ear work your way up the head, hope this makes sense :lol
if not i will post some pictures and give you a bit of a step by step to make it a bit easier to understand.

Re: Fettster joker paint up
I cut the wig in 2 sections then, trimmed, added... until I got the right look. Still needs some work but its getting there. I actually used the amber gorilla on mine. Im happy with how it came out but Adam did an amazing job hairing his joker and Id probably take that route next time..
Infact I may try it on my other joker but im slightly scared trying to remove the existing wig :-/

Re: Fettster joker paint up
Managed to get myself a full joker costume on ebay in the UK Not totally screen accurate but still very good and perfect for this bust. Also was a great price. Just sat the bust on my mannequin to see how it looks.

Having had access directly to the last page, I thought it was a real person wearing the clothes. Then I went to the first page and saw that it is a sculpture. it's amazing the modeling capabilities and realism!

Amazing work. Thought it was a person in a costume.
Question: why did you have the joker look left?
