    WIP - Ramirez mark 2

    Thanks for all the input on my previous post.
    I got this connery head a little while ago to use as Ramirez but wasn't entirely happy with it. Anyway, i've done a bit of work on it and would like your opinions again.
    Does this one work better?

    New pictures on next page.

      That one is absolutely spot on. THis should be a great figure. Are you going to shrink the head or go 1/6 scale? IN either case, that's a terrific start. I'd love to paint a cool head like that, though I've never attempted that scale before. Cool stuff.

      If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

        I will be shrinking it to 8", the head is actually a little smaller than other 1/6 heads.
        Copies will be available if anyone is interested.

          Ian, in your experience do you find it is easier to shrink than to enlarge a sculpt?

            I find it alot easier to shrink sculpts.

            Quite a few heads i've enlarged over the last few months have gotten too big in the water and when i take them out to reduce down again they split open.

            It's also easier to work on bigger heads than small ones.

                      That's Connery alright, much better than the other sculpt

                        I'd like to take all credit for the sculpt but i just did the hair, earring and moustache. I'm not sure what figure ( if any ) the original head came from.

                            Cool Ramirez. And I see you made the "end of the movie Kurgan" version

                              yeah, i thought it would be easier than the armoured version, though i might tackle it one day.

                              I've just got hold of the 1/6 Sideshow final fight Kurgan and decided to replicate it in 8".
