I've been part of the 1/6 community strictly as a consumer, and it always amazes me how lifelike these headsculpts can turn out. A large portion of that revolves around the sculpt itself which I understand to be painstakingly handcrafted from clay before getting used to create a mold for mass production. It's the other part of the creation process that leaves me clueless. How are they able to create such consistently detailed paint applications for mass production? I understand great custom creators like Rainman probably do everything by hand. But how is the process done by companies such as Hot Toys where productions can easily now number in the thousands? Are these still painted in by hand? For Hot Toys at least, all of their products seem to have their paint credited to JC Hong. Obviously this guy isn't forced to hand paint everything, so how is it done?
