[Frank Jaeger]

Hi guys sorry for the late reply

Ifrack, once I've done the wig I'll take numbers

As for the other heads suggestions - we plan to do a few different heads on this so keep yours eyes open for the threads

 

[rjszar]

Oh, that's great news!

 

[ifrack]

Thanks for the update

yes you can.

Hope the wigged head happens before all the other Arnold heads!!!

by the way, WIP of my Conan, had to adapt the head to the John Matrix neck. Still a lot of work to do on him

 

[abake]

That is looking damn fine!

Sorry for the delay on this guys, i've been working on the wig a little bit when i can but had other commitments recently after having to have house renovations and some personal errands to sort out so I'm hoping to get back to it this weekend and have something to show.

On another note the new bald head has been printed and is being cast now so i can get one painted up to show. I have no other bald heads at the minute as the last wigmaker got sent the ones i did have.

 

[rjszar]

Any progress on this?

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Yes, sorry.

I have cut and styled the wig and I'm in the process of trying to make it a little more wavy.

We were trying out some new casting techniques in which the heads will be cast in semi transparent flesh coloured material. Took some time but got some decent results back.

Our caster will be sending me one of the heads and i can hopefully have a painted and finished head sample as soon as i can.

Here's some images of the newly cast bald head.

[rjszar]

Can't wait to see it all finished finally. May need to get a second one.

Any pics of the wig on the heads???

 

[kingbumble]

Did this project just fizzle out? Were the wigs ever finished?

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Nah it didn't - It went on the back burner because the wigs just were not great quality.

We went back and redid the likeness and have reprinted the head and it is going to Dario Barbera to hair. Hopefully i will have a finished painted head in month or so.

I will most likely be opening another thread though.

 

[kingbumble]

That's good to hear, thanks Frank. Keep me posted once the new thread is up please - I'm desperate for a decent Conan bonce

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Hi guys,

Thought I'd post this is here first.

Finally got the conan head finished.

Paint by park Jung woo, hairing by Dario Barbera (body painting too)

Drop me a pm if interested

 

[realwarhead]

Amazing Conan Frank. Hope mine gets close!!
