We all learn. Sometimes from others. Sometimes the hard way. Today I learned the hard way. I got this P1 with plans to make I a movie accurate version. Story goes as follows. 1. Months ago, primed it with Rust-Oleum automotive primer. Primer dried. But the primer cracked horrifically. Like a dry lake bed. I blamed my prep work and body filler. The cracking was frustrating so the project sat on the healing bench till this week. Wanted to get it on my wall. 2. Took the helmet off the shelf. Sanded ALL the cracking away. Got it smooth. Ready for paint. 3. Painted with the same primer. Got the sam…

Basic Amazon airbrush. The Neoeco. Watched this review online and had to have it. I got it for experimenting with. For $40 it's hard to beat. Find an old compressor from the garage and this could probably get you by with painting at least 1 full suit before it craps out. If I get a chance to fire mine up I will post my experience here.

A local friend commissioned me too make him a Boar Bio helmet. Now I've painted a shit ton of these the standard way. I have not seen anyone do a bone version. The circular turtle shell dome areas will be painted a dirty aged bone color. Also debating the lower jaw being bone color as well. Something similar to Beserker bio. These are the marked bone areas. Rest of the bio @Roninpred says should be a gun metal. Weathered and dirty. Also some talk of a dred mohawk reminiscent of a boar's razorcrest. I've got some boat tusks I snagged off Etsy. Anyone have ideas?

Here is a bit of the process one how i modify or add scars to a mask/suit - in this case i had to create an Ahab mask for a client. After washing the mask with soap and water, i clean it with alcohol. Then used latex flashing ( i always save them, when cutting the excess latex of a mask or suit), to create the scar. Using crazy glue i apply them one by one. Then filled up any small gaps with cotton dipped in latex and shape the scar a bit more by giving the illusion of stretch out skin. The next step is adding a nice coat of liquid latex to smooth and seal the wound. After that is just adding the dreads and the painting process. I will try to make a short tutor…
