hmy:
Thanks Chaps, I really appreciate them
the Hornet head ,yeah he does look a bit goofy :laugh:
Ok I tried out sumthing new with the Alpine ones and you cant really see the effect at all and thats the eyes :huh:
Black paint with dry retarder added so its wet for a while and dip in a needle a little is on the point, shove needle in the eye
Then Light blue paint and repeat process and it came out with a great effect that the outline of the iris is black while the centre is the light blue
Still youll have to take my word for that :woohoo:
Hornet heads usually come with a hole for the eyes anyway so that just a case of painting the whites of the eyes which arnt really white just a lighter shade of the fleshtones
Hope that helps
Another quick tip ( dont stop me now Im on a roll )
removing those heads from the resin blocks
Time to enter that dark space in reality and thats your wifes make up bag,..
Stealthily nip, when when shes cooking or ironing ok, ok or when shes cutting the lawn or painting, and liberate ( steal) some of those make up remover pads, circular ones, place this around the head so it has a nice cushion and cut off with sharp knife or snippers, trim to suit.
When painting I know some state about pinning the head and putting that on a block but I use big blob of yellow tac around the resin block this way to can handle the tac and move the head around to suit whatever position you desire
thats it for Handy Andys tip section today I am now going to lie down ,..na-night zzzzzzzzzzzzz
