yep! Thats the sculptor.
Hey Mr. E, can I ask which body you are using here?
Sorry about the delay. Its one of those narrow shoulder knockoffs with the sculpted neck. They're on eBay for relatively cheap. Still not sure if I'm going to use it for Harmonica though. An extended Bruce Lee would be preferable, especially in the way the sculpt fits at the neck.
Thanks Mate, I do have one of those bodies on the way to test. I had no luck with the neck fit on a TTM-19 knock off and the same with the coo-models body. The Narrow shoulder one will do the trick for now. Cheers.
Thought I might try my hand at painting these and if they don't work out I'll send them off to someone when I have the funds.
I found a tutorial on youtube and worked out the basic steps to follow along. I haven't really done any painting before other than some blood and mud on a few figures so there's lots of mistakes... and I'm not really sure how to mix the colours to achieve the correct skin tones yet but hopefully the issues won't be too visible in the end. Luckily Harmonica's skin is like an old leather chair anyway so it's probably a good place to start.
I don't have a paintbrush small enough to tackle the eyes, I can't even get into where the whites of the eyes are properly so I might need to put this on hold for a while but here's where I'm at so far with Harmonica.

looks great so far....which tutorial are you using? Also there are very realistic decals available for eyes (the great Jacob Rahmier has even used them). I will try to post some links a little later. I would love to see Jacob or any of the great artists out there post a tutorial sometime as there are not enough people right now to meet the needs of all the amazing custom heads being offered on the forum.
