I came across these Danny Trejo heads on eBay a few times, and was struck by the excellence of the sculpt -- in part helped by the part that it was made of resin, luckily without a molded neck. Eventually, I picked up the unpainted version (custom painted ones were quite expensive), and last night I spent some time painting it, without expecting much success. I used the technique of painting the flesh dark and building a couple of thin lighter layers on top. In the end, I think it worked out ok for a non-professional paint job. Which was a great relief, because I felt bad potentially defacing the beautiful sculpt.
Comparison of the unpainted sculpt above and my paint job below.
Of course a close zoom in reveals all the imperfections in my paint job. But luckily, one doesn't look at it so large. Besides, it ends up looking a little artsy.
What do you think?
