  1. Thats a big Yikes for me. I tried this paint before, but it is...just a paint. It drys like a paint. For really small minis okey, but bigger scale models, it just doesnt look real enough. And the color is too bright for artery blood in my opinion. With epoxy I don't have to top coat or anything. It just drys and looks great
  2. Thank you Nev I don't like that either and wanted to avoid it. My first version with vallejo water was not that great, so I redid it with the good old 5 min epoxy technique Its easy, but can be a bit stressing and time consuming. Mix a good blood color and mix it with 5min epoxy. Now the game begins. Adding all the small splatters n stuff with a toothpick. As soon as the exoxy hardens, do all blood where it should have more in the blood (on the knuckles for example). there is not much time. Then, mix some exopy again I have to say I very much enjoyed the process. Cheers, Stefan
  3. Hi Jan, thank you very much for the kind words The LEDs are not that bright in real life, they are just bright enough to see them in daylight. But I took the picture in direct sight, so they seem to glow too much, as you stated ^^. I wanted to see them in daylight because in the dark...well, I cant see the rest of him Again, thank you very much Jan, I really appreciate it. Cheers, Stefan
  4. Thank you very much. That is the most important thing 😃 Cheers, Stefan
  5. Uff, finally It took me longer than I had hoped. Looking back, I'm very pleased with the result. As you all know, there are always things you'd like to change a bit, but I had to call it :). I want to do other projects as well ^^ If you are interested in the process and haven't seen it yet, here is the link: Sideshow Collectibles Death Dealer Customization Comments and critics are welcome. And for comparison, before and after Thanks for everyone who accompanied me on this journey Cheers, Stefan
  6. This will be the last update before finishing it. I finally found the time to do the hair (but not styled yet). The head is now also secured to the hand. I used a screw and added axopie sculpt to secure it. I need to paint the bottom part of the orc head and add blood as well. I'm not sure if I made a mistake with the blood on the ground. I used vallejo water effect and mixed fake artery blood into it. In real life, it looks very real, but I read afterwards, that vallejo water effect would never really dry when mixed too much color and stuff into it...And I had to use a lot. We'll see Worst case I will add expody. For finishing up, I'm gonna do the hairstyle. Not sure if I should use hair product or scenic glue. Probably will decide in the moment ^^ Sorry for the bad quality pics, I didn't have my main light at the time. Cheers, Stefan
  7. Hi Adrian, Hah, thats too kind, thanks. Most of the time I'm just adapting and improvising. Cheers, Stefan
  8. I Love the bust and the painting. Very well done. Anubis was always my favorite looking god and your version looks very majestic. Nailed it.
  9. The Orc head is almost done. I probably should have bought a smaller brush. The smalles I have is a 1 and with that, it was super annoying painting the eyes and the smaller teeth. But anyway, I'm pleased with the resault. The next step is gonna be "fun". I have never used hair on a statue/model, so I'll have to freestyle this part and hope I wont screw up Cheers, Stefan
  10. One step closer to the finish line. I have to let the water cure before adding another layer to the puddle. Had to test some stuff before committing. Cheers, Stefan
  11. Very cool. Baby Groots leather reminds me of deadpools costume. Looks very nice!
  12. Thank you very much Nikolay, I somehow didn't see your response. I'm mostly done with Death dealer itself. I will have to fix the axe (I broke it the 5th time...) and part of the cape. Other than that, He's ready for weathering. Oh and I used Black 2.0 for the inside of the helmet and the eyes and nose for the skull in the belt. It's mind-boggling how it doesnt reflect any light. Just like a hole - as intended. Now the eyes are creepy enough. You cant even see the LEDs. I can highly recommend it the color for special parts. Cheers, Stefan
  13. Alright, I made some progress. Still a loooot to do and I can't wait for the dirt and blood work as final touches. Right now, all the holes are closed, the original stuff is back on and a lot is painted. I still need to add the rest of the chainmail, cape, teeth/bones and sword (and paint them :D). I nocked down the skin a little bit, so it's more greyish like the original paintings and comics. I really have to finish this project, cause the next one is already waiting. I won't rush it though. Till next time, Cheers
