This fibreglass 3/4 head cast of Freddy was taken from a mold of a screen-used dummy Freddy head from "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: Dream Master".
This particular head (eyes closed, grimacing) can been seen when the souls start clawing their way out of Freddy's chest at the end of the film, and would have been made using a lifecast of Robert Englund in Freddy makeup.
I received this raw and cleaned it up and painted it:
This Billy puppet head was originally sculpted by Tyler Haslett and cast in hollow resin from Tyler's molds by Lewis from Maskworks.
I cleaned up the resin, painted it and hot-glued the hair to the head.
Eventually I will construct the rest of the body for this puppet.
This 2nd Freddy bust was sculpted by Fettster.
I based the colour scheme on a bust painted by Bjorn at Elm Studios.
Eyes are currently acrylic, but I will upgrade them later to professional glass eyes.
I painted the whole thing using paintbrushes (no airbrush).
This last one (Harry Warden - The Miner from My Bloody Valentine 3D) is not really a paintup, but I did finish assembling it from screen accurate pieces. I put this bust together using the exact same costume components as were used for the movie costume.
Gas mask is a Russian GP-7V gas mask which has been modified (as in the movie) by moving some components around, adding hose (from a seperate gas mask) and tinting the lenses to make them darker.
The miner's hard hat is an MSA Comfo Cap. Rather than spend big bucks on a vintage black one, I bought a new white one and sprayed it black.
The lamp is a Koehler Wheat light - the proper vintage type. I was very lucky to pick this up.
Oh, and that's a real pig's heart that the set-up is displayed with - it was preserved for medical education.
EDIT: Finally got my last WIP head finished. :thumbsup
My glass eyes arrived from Van Dyke's, so my Evil Ash bust is finally complete!
The colour palatte on this one is not as red/orange in the face as Evil Ash appears on screen - I based the colours on a screen used head that Tom Spina restored (and took great photos of). The eyes are different from Tom's, as I noticed that he actually has two different eye colours in the movie - light blue in his resurrection scene and then dark yellow in the rest of the movie (guess they changed contact lenses?). I used Van Dyke's Leopard eyes which are pretty close.
The bust was actually missing a few pieces that it would have originally come with, so I had to use Sculpey to sculpt in the vertebrae ridge, horns and cheek guard tips/spikes on the helmet.
