p1-p2 head paint up

[SUICIDALRAIDER]

got this off ebay about a year ago......this thing is HUGE ....the size of this thing rivals that of a rubies..maybe even bigger. I was a really thin, bad quality casting ..and not rd407 latex....this was definately cast in natural pure rubber... not sure who's sculpt it is ...whether it P1 or P2..got tired of looking at it turning orange and decided to paint it up.most importantly is checkout the quills.....i had no sucsess with the sculpy bend and bake....i found silicone basting brushes and they looked pretty good.....but then while neandering around wallmart waiting for the wife to finish shopping i stumbled across these aquairium plants ....they work great!!!! i spryed them black ..snipped them off ...poked holes and glued them in....they stood a funny angles but once heated with a heat gun and smoothed in the direction you want them to lay with your hand waalaa!!! imho they look great and are really quick and easy. i figured i would consolidate my postings and post these together since they lended themselves to one another anyway .....ok ...im lazy

It's **** like that which makes this forum and it's members fantastic. Seriously, the creativity and improvisation is amazing. Great job on the mask...the finished piece should be stellar.

You're a freakin genius. I'm looking into it now. I'm still on the hunt for a nice big head full faced mask. Any recommendations?

Dreads are still on back order from Bambooie. I gotta wait 3 weeks for a set - he needs a small factory.

i got this humungo head from a dude in 'i believe vegas over a year ago on ebay and i havent seen any like it since. when i bought it i didnt realize it was so big....it about the size of a rubie's!!!!i was a good cast just very thin....then i tried my hand at foam filling it....it poured over and it sucked !!got all over the outside of the mask...spent a ton of time trying to get as much off as i could.....then figured its either paint it up or trash it....i guessed the paint would hide the foam i couldnt get off pretty well...if you look close...looking at the mask, the left side looks trashy becuase of the foam on it but i got to experiment on it and it turned out good enough to keep. As far as the plastic plant ..they do work great...1 thing i would suggest to anyone going this route is use the plastic fusion paint so it grabs better i used a straight flat black on them and as you can see it flaked off on some of the quills. And yea, booie has the best foam dreads in the galaxy!!! i will pick a set up soon.
