Brundledonk Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) this is going to be the iconic scene from the movie The Shining where Jack smashes through the door with a fire axe and is in 1/6 scale the doorway was built by a very talented friend of mine called Jason and and the head is a resin one from eBay Here's the door with a coat of rattle can grey primer on it ready for painting There are actually 2 heads, the one that goes into the door has been cut down and this complete one but I'm only painting the one for the door right now Edited July 17, 2018 by Brundledonk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundledonk Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) I got a base flesh colour down and layed on some red tones with very highly thinned paint, painted the whites of his eyes in Ivory, the mouth got a bit of Vallejo red wash and his eyebrows were painted in with thinned back brown he looks pretty shocking at this stage lol With the untouched head as a comparison Edited July 17, 2018 by Brundledonk 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundledonk Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Teeth painted in. They look very white in the picture but I used Vallejo ivory and in hand his smile isn't so "Hollywood" started to define his lips a bit too Edited July 17, 2018 by Brundledonk 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundledonk Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) the stubble added and inside the mouth and teeth were glossed. hair is being blocked in here too. lots of tones added to the skin with very thinned paint to try and get a realistic texture and some semi gloss clear sprayed here and there to give a bit of sheen and sweaty look You can just make out that the back of poor Jack's head is missing in this one The eyes need painting in and I will go in with a fine brush to tidy the transition of the hairline to the skin but the face is pretty much finished Ive swapped the pics for higher resolution ones, they are the same images but will be a bit clearer and no doubt show the flaws in my paint lol Edited July 18, 2018 by Brundledonk Swapping images for higher res 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 How did you do the stubble.....The more I look at it, the more real it seems. Will you paint the eyes or use decals (if it's the former I'd love to see a step by step)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you paint the eyes or use decals (if it's the former I'd love to see a step by step)? I used really highly thinned black and dark grey as a glaze and built up the intensity with multiple layers but again the quality of the sculpt really helped as the stubble is very well rendered on the face so it wasn't too hard to get the effect. this pic shows the sculpted stubble quite well and I think I've just started to add a couple of layers starting from the jaw line and working up. The glaze naturally builds up around the hairs and at the end I do a kind of dry brush with black just to pick up some raised detail As for the eyes my first thought was to paint them but I sent some pics to my friend Jason and he mentioned archer eye decals and that kind of made me doubt myself lol. They are around 6 pounds plus a couple of quid postage from Historex so not expensive amd you get around a 100 but it seems a lot just for The pair I need for this so I'll more than likely just paint them in and if I do and it works out well I'll do a step by step Pete 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundledonk Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) I tidied the hairline a little bit and have also painted the other head I didn't take any pics of the hairline but you can see it in this pic Practice makes perfect as I think I made a better job of the stubble and eyebrows second time around Edited July 24, 2018 by Brundledonk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundledonk Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Only their mother could tell them apart lol The diorama got a bit of a dusting with the remnants of a rattle can of white primer I had kicking around the cave Edited July 24, 2018 by Brundledonk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundledonk Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) then I brush painted over the woodwork with an off white mix of Vallejo paints Just one coat on the door so far and this won't be the final colour, I just want to add some brush strokes as it will look to smooth just sprayed on. I'll add anothe coat or two by brush and then break out the airbrush to finish it off but I'm intentionally avoiding a perfect finish Edited July 24, 2018 by Brundledonk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG X Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 OMG - That looks 'real' - officially I do not think I have ever seen anything look that real. I'm off to lie down - until I calm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundledonk Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) I'm using screen grabs of the scene from the movie as reference and the room on this side of the door where Wendy locks herelf in to try and keep Jack out is a bathroom that is half tiled. I'll upload some grabs to Flickr later and post them so you can see what I'm talking about but for now you'll just have to take my word for it. Cut some styrene sheet and scribed 1 inch squares for 6 inch tiles and used some scrap for a border and styrene rod for the capping Edited July 24, 2018 by Brundledonk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundledonk Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) A bit of paint and wash in the grout lines ( they are this manky in the movie ) none of this is glued and its just blu tac holding it for the pics A quick looksee with Jack in place, no eyes as yet ( sorry Sarge ) but they will be done soon. and I'm going to paint the background behind the head black Edited July 24, 2018 by Brundledonk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundledonk Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 The tiles on the left side of the door are done too Coming together a bit now just one or two coats on the door, paint the handle and a bit of airbrush jiggery pokery along with a bit of weathering and some clear gloss will sort that out and then I can get the walls papered ( I'm not kidding I'm going to wall paper them ) then try and figure out the floor as I'm not sure what to do there Pete 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 WOW!!!! that head if off the scale, the skin tones are perfect. I have just ordered my first resin figure that got quite a bit of skin showing, so I might be coming to ask you a millision question on skin paint techniques. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Stonking work, but there's an awful lot of scenery and very little Jack in those images.....He looks a bit lost in that hole TBH. Please don't take my criticism the wrong way, your work is at a level I could only dream of emulating, I'm just concerned that the focus of your scene may be lost in such a large backdrop. This section alone makes for a more effective composition IMHO: Just that, mounted on a stand (aircraft style), possibly with something from the movie and some text on the base itself? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Although I admittedly, there probably isn't going to be many 'excessively overdressed, screaming, cowering, knife wielding, female victims' in this scale, it would be good to have the woman figure as part of the display. Or is that the plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
