Great to see that you've been working hard on this project, mate. I really like what you've done, it looks very cool ^_^ Keep up the good work. It's going to be excited to see how the zombie facepaint will turn out.

Is painting the zombieface wearing you out, mate? I would've been damned tired after doing all the details. :P

cheers mate, it's not been bad so far, although i held my breath when colouring around his eyes, was really worried i was gonna accidentally put black in his eye, but luckily i didnt :D

then again if i was to mess up 1 eye, i'd hope its his right one because there will be an eye patch covering it ;)

^Haha, good thing you didn't put a mole on his face by accident, then! :D :P

Can't wait until I see how the face will look like. :)

r0b, might wanna take a look over here:

http://www.onesixthwarriors.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=40

Search around, ask around, You can probably make an accurate snake figure for under 60 bucks.

EDIT: heres a few from others around the site:

I suggest you get all the parts you need, and starting over, cause if you want something you can keep and display your gonna need alot more positionable figure with more articulation and a way better headsculpt then good old action man.

On the highend figures bodies, you can swap heads and hands and feet, so you can pretty much make it how you want.

i see your point mate and thanks for sharing that website, but i think if i was gonna pay that much i'd just buy the real thing. Also if i did buy the real thing it would never come out of it's box.

This way i'm actually making a true Custom, not some already made ones, im turning something into something, and its a lot more fun this way.

So far mine has cost £12.50, the most expensive being some white acrylic paint and 2 brushes

i totally agree on the posable aspect though, mine can't move too well :D but i must say, upon painting his face it looks more like Big Boss than the zombie painted one you posted, and with hair i think i will have nailed it

EDIT: the weapons and belt items are gonna be bought though, thanks to Solid Spartan for sharing the website. I do like those figures you shared though, but i just wanna do it myself

Right, heres how he's looking at the moment after a couple of coats of paint

Posted Image

Now, this isn't finished, as it needs touching up in places obviously, but i wanted to share how it looks so far as i can't do more yet until the paint is dry.

@Digitaldude: The hair is the most tricky aspect but i think i've thought of something now.

thanks mate :) yeah, the bandana will be put on after the 'hair' it's gonna sit on his head like a wig, a small rubber circle with hair threaded into it, then the bandana will then hide the cap sitting on his head :P

I love it. Its an incredible piece of work so far, and my hat goes off to you.

To KALASH (who has left incidently, but oh well) that figure is amazing also. It looks really well put together, and loads of detail has gone into it. Ab fab.
