INTEREST: Black Female head sculpt

As far as any imperfections on resin head sculpts: when I used to do any sort of modeling of 1/8 scale resin models, where you had to assemble different parts of a figure together -- to hide the seams, etc., I used "model putty" (it air dries) and can then be sanded down -- very carefully of course -- but it helps to smooth it out as much as possible before it dries so you don't have to do as much work. Much of the time, I use the backside of an X-acto blade to smooth out sections of the model putty.

Thanks for the tip!

I will keep an eye on this thread

Just received mine and am very happy with it. Now I have to paint it -- and a body (but which one?). Thanks, Mark!

Looking forward to seeing what you do with her, Ian.

I received mine back from Mus Musculus (aka Eric Alvarez). I think it turned out pretty good. Now I just need to add hair.

She looks great! Even without hair. Don't you mean Alvarez?

D’Oh!

Very nice! Good luck with the hair!

She looks great!!! Arrgh!! My holiday turned out busier than anticipated and the next two weeks are full as well, but AFTER THAT  I'll give dying a TBL body and matching this head to it a go.

Turned out pretty nice
