The background is from Triad, with some added paint effects from me because I thought it looked a bit too flat on its own. The Nazi on the ground I did myself, scalped head and all.

Again, thanks for the compliments, everyone.

How did you scalp the head?

Also what did you use for blood? Paint type? Brand?

I might steal your idea!

I used the head sculpt that comes with the Narrow True-Type body, which I seem to have a million of and have no other uses for. I carved a recess out of the head, sanded the area down and then dry brushed some small spots and streaks using black paint (to simulate those really dark spots on a scalped head) before painting the entire area over with Testors red enamel. Lastly, added a layer of gloss coat.

Hope that helps. Considering my severely limited artistic/painting skills, I'm sure it should be easy for others.

Got Aldo in yesterday... awesome figure

Love how detailed the he is and the likeness and paint work is top notch. Expression still could be a bit more expressive; but still works very well with the character and figure.

Congrats, man! I can already tell Aldo is an underrated figure.

Awesome pic, dude! Great pose!!! Congrats on the figure!

 

[plasmid303]

He looks great.

If I were to be truly honest though, Aldo isn't the best thing in that photo, marf.

Mal does put most of the rest of my collection to shame

Seriously. That's a terrific, professional looking custom.

Took these shots awhile ago now, guess i will post.

This sculpt is one of Hot Toys best for sure, i didn't bother removing the undershirt, i find it makes his head look huge compared to the body and shoulders look baggy after doing such.

 

[Voorhees27]

That IS a fantastic Pitt likeness. Outta the ballpark imo.
