Grell Sutcliff Bust

[samuraibunni]

Hey ho peoples!

Well, I'm short on funds this year, and my daughter LOVES Black Butler (Kuro****suji), so I decided to make her a Grell Sutliff bust! Ok, so I've NEVER made a bust before, so this is a bit of a learning curve for me, but I thought I'd share the progress with you guys!

I'm making it out of good old Super Sculpey, so here goes; here's the progress so far...Now, just to let you know, those spectacles aren't the final ones; they're just for reference!

Well, Here are some progress piccies. I've been off work for a couple of days, so this has allowed me to crack on in earnest with this! Now to make his lovely flowing locks..you know, because "he's worth it"...

The hair is removable just in case I decide to cast, or get someone else to cast, some copies. Next steps, mounting and good old paint!

Aaand here's the hair all painted. The bust itself has had a primer coat and I've seen a couple of hairline cracks which I shall sort. Now I need to get some paint as I've been ill over the past 4 days and unable to leave the house!

Well he can't exactly be a grim reaper without teeny little spectacles now, can he..?
