Painting Mannequins (By Request!)

[blackadder]

Glenn, How did you fix those evil looking teath ?
Is it an existing mannequin which is just painted over ?
or did you hack and saw something on it yourself !

He screams hatered !

Niels, hatred is such a strong word. I prefer to think of the look as "if you will not be like Me, then I will bash your skull in!" of course Im just kiddin'. actually (NZ)Mark did surgury on His jaw and formed it into a scowl from a closed mouth then custom built the teeth. Mark did the whole paint job but when it got destroyed I simply copied His work from what was left of it and asked Him alot of step by step instructions. no, I could never have done a rebuild without Him. Marks a very good Man (and Freind) although the re do looks good it still pales in comparrison to what He painted. even My Wife was amazed at how life like it was when She first saw Him (before the accident) Glenn

hello,

Mark,
no color paint,
the dummy had already a face paint (flehs and eyes) when i get it.
i just used hight quality women making up.
and a burned cork from an old wine bottle.
then a coat of flat transparent model paint on the face to protect it (and of course chothes worn on the dummy).
i did that more than 20 years ago, but still nice looking.
regards
derka

Nicely Done, Derka
I'd like to see the whole mannequin - that custom field tunic looks similar to one of mine. Can we see more?
Regards,
Mark.

Derka,
What a fantastic field made set of cover-alls! That is VERY desirable - and the wear to it is consistant with what it was intended to be used for...NICE
Thank you for the photo.
Best Regards,
Mark.

Excellent painting!
I also do a lot of 1/35th modeling.
Those splinter coveralls are the best!

Hi Stijn,
I did indeed receive your email, but wanted to put together a full bodied reply. It's a bit busy at work at the moment and with the time difference it might apear that I'm ingnoring PM's, but that's not the case. So anyone waiting for a reply - patience, PLEASE? I will get to you!
Derka - That set of coveralls is amazing.
As for modelling - I'm a 1/16 scale fan!
Regards,
Mark.

No problem Mark! I have time! I was just worried you might not have gotten my pm. Please note that I will be in Normandy for one week starting next monday, so I wont have acces to a puter there.

Regards,

Stijn

wow Mark, that little guy looks great. what detail. Glenn

[NZMark]

Thanks Glenn He's not finished - plenty to work on yet, plus I'm in the middle of altering a 1:9 scale SS schutze to an infantryman in Tunisia, 1943. Too many projects!
Darwin, can you take another photo further back from the face - the angle distorts the view slightly when close-up. I like what you've posted - great skin tones!
Please share more photos?
Here's some 'in process' shots of three I'm working on for one client at the moment. Same head, a few alterations to just subtley give each a different look.
Cheers,
Mark.
