They have stores worldwide, but HQ is in the UK. Look for Kneadatite Blue/Yellow online or in model shops, it's the same stuff but cheaper.

Much, MUCH cheaper. Games Workshop's pricing model has always been ridiculous, and is only getting worse.

I'm not sure what to do. I'm finished with this part but I want to add some loose hairstrands.. But if I do that it can't be casted..

View attachment 328472 WIP but this sculpt is great. Just the weird eyebrow paint and eye positioning that made him look pscho ruined him.

GoD I need to fix bobas suit color.

Small test to see how loose strands of hair over his forehead would look. Big improvement imo! Very rough obviously but it was meant just to see how it would look.

 

[eczamurai]

More tests. Thoughts?

Strands look good. Never having used this green stuff I don't know how strong it is. I'd be worried about breakage. Also keep in mind you need to paint in behind there, so I wouldn't get too crazy. The first test shot looks good. It adds depth and should not pose problems with strength or painting.

Green stuff is just as hard as resin once it sets. Wouldn't worry too much about breakage.

Nice job. this is the best commercial ford sculpt out there, too bad the figure is so expensive.

 

[eczamurai]

Gotta say I'm happier with how this side turned out. May touch up the other side to more match it.

I agree. Imo the best commercial ford sculpt, which is why I'm modding this one instead of a HT sculpt. Easier to fix the hair than the whole face.

This is still my favorite Han Solo sculpt, I had the same idea but I'm crap as sculptor, even for the hair. Congrats, looking forward for the final result.

It's easy really. Use a cheese rasp to take of slices of hair easily and with a small screwdriver place crude lines in the clay for how you want the hair to flow. Then thinly place detail lines. The green stuff is easily removed with said cheese cutter and you can just keep trying untill you like the results. My first hair sculpt looked nothing like this, the proof is in this very thread. Water clay and a small flat screwdriver is all I used for the above result.

Thought I'd recommend practicing on something less.. stressful.

 

[eczamurai]

I think if the eyes are painted this way it would really bring out the likeness. The expression is pretty much spot on.

Within a few hours it's dry enough for careful handling. After a day it's hard
