Hair cut time.

How you do dat?

 

[Pixelpiper]

Utility knife, bench grinder with de-burring convolute wheel and Dremel with cut-off wheel and carving/rasp bit. I'm going to rehair the sculpt along with a few other changes.

Don't try the power tools unless you have a dust extraction system or you're sitting outside - it will make a right mess.

Why are you re hairing? What are your thoughts?

Why are you re hairing? What are your thoughts?

#1 I didn't want the hair so pouffy, not so recessed around the temples and I want the back shaved/tapered. #2 I'd like mine to be different than anyone else's.

I'm really leaning toward real hair to set this one off. I'll sleep on it and decide by morning. If I go real hair instead of re-sculpt, I'll take the existing sculpt down to skull level and get it painted before I start.

Anyone else had theirs painted yet they wanna share? Very keen to have a look

 

[frenchyoutoo]
