Promising Galahad
Freaked Out
Hey guys, this may be a long shot but I could use help on a sculpt I've gone back to.
A while back, I decided to use a DML head for a Douglas Fairbanks custom "Mark of Zorro" figure. However, I wasn't satisfied enough with the original sculpt, so I made a casting of it and made my alterations to the casting.
I never finished the head because I initially thought it was too small. Turns out the shoulders were just too broad on my test body and now I've gone back to finish it. Here are my questions:
1) Is there a way to add a more convincing skinlike texture to a hard sculpt? Perhaps spray over it with something? Use sandpaper?
2) I thought about just using Sculpey for the hair as the head is currently bald. Is there something that's more likely to stick to the resin casting though, especially where there is going to be little used (such as for the eyebrows and the moustache)?
