Well, I did it. Re-painted/touched up my BD head. I was amazed how easily the head took the paint, I just did subtle washes. I didn't enhance the bruises too much but added more texture around the eyes and mouth. Very very happy with it!
It's unbelievably better now, thanks Axe for the inspiration.
You can actually see the proto in it now.
wow one of the best shots i have seen personally....
is this the normal version or beijing version?
Axe, damn you! you are making me want to paint my extra head.
I am an artist (well, I went to art college!), but I haven't painted models in years. What kind of paints did you use, acrylic?
Great work my man!
Also a couple of things I noticed when finally opening my regular version yesterday.. has anyone noticed their are two different pupil sizes in the eyes? My Beijing version has larger pupils than my regular version. The smaller pupils make it look a lot closer to the proto. It doesn't have that weird wide eyed look anymore. Looks a lot better IMO. My body was perfect, no marks on the arms or chest. No staining. One very minor paint rub on the nose, thats it. I'd swear the eye sockets are smaller, but thats probably my imagination.
is this the normal version or beijing version?
normal.
what are the differencences ?
Okay... I am fully aware of me not even being anywhere close to be a "good" photographer - especially since this figure picture taking thing is totally new to me, plus I do not have the right photo equipment, plus of course total lack of experience... But I have tried my best to get an "acceptable" photo of this really beautiful Bruce Lee figure with my digital camera... And of course non of the photos I took did any real justice to come anywhere close to what the full and right impression of how beautiful this wonderful figure really is in-hand... So please accept my most humble apology for this rather clumsy attempt I manage to squeese out...
So.... Anyhow here is one best shot I manage to "produce" so far:
I call it the "It is like a finger pointing away to the moon" "Game of Death" impression...
Btw, I had to rotate the pointing had in photoshop because it wasn't pointing up as much as I wanted to.... I have so much to learn and I have a long way to go - so I have to start somewhere - right ?..
If larrys pictures hold true for all cases the biggest difference is the amount of damage on the BD suit... the HK version/normal's BD on the suit is SO LIGHT that it looks non existent almost... This pic's BD suit is like my HK version before I repainted it...
Also Rory as much as I think things like paint MIGHT differ slightly between HK and Expo versions, I dont think Sculpt will considering they came of the same moulds, so the eyeslits being smaller maybe more of an optical illusion...
