Thanks, GF!
And I also need to get back to my many unfinished re-hairing projects. Sigh. Hopefully soon....

You're welcome and good luck. I know there is a lot going on in real life, and a queue of projects.skywalkersaga wrote:Thanks, GF!

Thank you very much. You can check out the links for more details, wherever I tried to write them up to one extent or another.Valiarde wrote:Those are some awesome rootings. I'm impressed. I still have problems with a good fron hairline on some hairstyles. For Aquaman and Bucky you left some molded hair to help with that?
Especially like your Eric Bana. Bot most of them are pretty great. I jost love real hair on figs
Thank you for the kind words, Craig, I'm glad it was informative.csyeung wrote:Thanks for the indepth tuturial Gubernator! Very informative. I've never done rehairing, what is the purpose of the 3 interlocking strands that you do at the end? Is it to keep the shape? I think I've seen people say to make a parting line in the scalp and hair out from that?
I read somewhere that the curlier hair will be more matte than straight hair so if you comb it out it will be shinier, I think it has something to do with how light will catch on the hair. I dunno.
Very facinating stuff. Thanks again!

Thank you. If you are asking about the tiara on the Angelina Jolie head sculpt, and if I remember correctly, I had no problem prying it loose from where it reached the sides of the hairline and it wasn't glued or anchored to the forehead except at the center on its bottom. There, it was anchored into an indent on the head that I had to fill and then paint over (with more of the forehead around it to make sure it wasn't easily detectable). You can see the filled-in spot in a progress photo. Slicing the "root" of the tiara would have been another way to go, but it still would have involved possibly a little filling in (in case fine gap lines showed around it) and certainly some painting to obscure the difference in color.Ileg01 wrote:Great work! I just have a question about the Tiara. Does the Tiara stuck in the head, or was it just glued?

Thank you! I want to recreat a A. Jolie head sculpt. I plan to remove the sculpted hair and the tiara. Repaint the hair brown. I hope it will be fine.

If I can do it, I think so can you. The hardest part is matching the skin tone precisely when you are repairing the forehead.
Good luck!
If I recall, I used Vallejo plastic putty (or maybe Air Drying clay), because I don't think Vallejo plastic putty works great, but I didn't feel like opening a sealed bag of air-drying Sculpey for just that tiny bit of material. Green Stuff would likely bulge out a bit as it cures, so I wouldn't recommend it for that specific role -- though I used it to build up the cranium. I didn't want to mess much with the head sculpt, which was already so perfect. After the partial repaint, it's pretty much undetectable.Ileg01 wrote:GubernatorFan wrote:Ileg01 wrote:GubernatorFan wrote:Thank you.

Thanks! I just removed the tiara. It was very easy. What for a product did you use to fill the hole?
Are marks of the hole still visible on your head sculpt after repainting?
