God I always appreciate when people take a chance... believe in their skills and go for it...

I'm pretty much happy with everything you did except for the blood...

just being honest and not being rude.

Thankyou for being honest. Yeah I need too do abit of work on the blood on his chest. Any tips?

Fantastic work!!

For the blood, you might try a darker red. Then add a bit of glossy bright red. Play around with the technique on something else first, though.

great job , and for the blood- i have used Tamiya (my personal recipe) clear red with a tiny bit of hull red and clear yellow..experiment...play around on a tan or white surface until you get it the color you like.

Constantly amazed that no company has picked this up - even unofficial. Hopefully HT realises there is a market they can tap with minmal effort. Now they have an Arnie body it really wouldn't be a lot of work for them to pump out 3 or 4 different Conan's

damn fine work all around but my only nit would be to have tried "real" hair with him............i think it would bump it up from "dayuuum"....to "dayuuuuuuuuuuuuummm"...........

[jim_a]

Thanks everyone for the advice and kind words
This is my first proper custom with painting and making clothing etc

I decided not to do the real hair on this one because I already have a Conan custom with real hair that I brought from vold(I think it was that)

Totally agree with you.

Hi Aneses
Your conans were what inspired me to try this. Glad you like it

 

[jim_a]

hi all
I have now tried to improve the blood, see picture below let me know what you all think. Picture quality not great because they were taken on my phone. The blood had a gloss shine in places which the camera hasnt really captured.

Before

after

This is the conan custom i brought with real hair if you havent already seen it on the forums.

And this is my next conan project im considering
