ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 12,465 Group: Admin Member #355 Joined: July 26, 2006	ok, i started workin on one of the heads from the rommels rod. i like these skulls better, because the have that "harryhausen" eye socket/brow look............which makes them look a little meaner than the others... i ground down the german style hat to make it look more like a "pancake" style hat with a beak on it.....sorry for the slightly blurry pics, i cant get my camera to focus on this small stuff for some reason..................its time for a new camera! now i will cut the head off the other skeleton, and add this one, make a strap for the goggles, and add a button to the center of the cap on top....... more to come bryan

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 12,465 Group: Admin Member #355 Joined: July 26, 2006	i mixed up some bone color from vintage white, linen, a little gray, and just a single drop of yellow...... then i decided on dark red for the hat, and tan on the goggles, ill do the lenses a light green like burning goggles, and put a drop of 5 minute epoxy on them so they look like glass.... more to come thanks for lookin bryan

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 12,465 Group: Admin Member #355 Joined: July 26, 2006	the hat and goggles are pretty much done........besides making the lenses shiney, and of course everything still needs washes and powders.... heres the hat.... now its on to the rest of the body, and then washes, powders and all that good stuff! bryan

Admin--Chief Crank Posts: 14,920 Group: Admin Member #666 Joined: April 1, 2007	Hey, I just thought of something. Since he is wearing boots and gloves (perhaps he is a police officer), how about a scarf around his neck . . . something in plaid?
