    an idea...your Thoughts...?

    I had an Idea for creating a head for Prof. Hugo Strange, so I mocked up in Photoshop....

    Take the Solomon Kane Head, cut all hair off, resulp / fill in holes with sculpy,
    and either sculp the beard with with sculpy or have it done as a grey flock?
    Finish with a pair of HP glasses......

    Thoughts?

    I have a better?/easier idea: OMBC Grok head, hair removed and recast--or plugged and painted. Add FTC glasses.

    The Kane head is huge.
    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

      be a good idea if the head was anywhere close to scale but it is more like 1/6th scale. I'd use the Dr. Venture head if it were me.

        @ Pgwynne: I know you and I discussed this before, but......Grok is EXPENSIVE, I've missed every ebay auction because it is out of my price range.
        And for less then $10 it's doable....?

        @ thunderbolt: Doc Venture, from this pic,

        looks too non threatening for Hugo Strange.
        And I'm kinda going for that Golden Age vibe, where he almost resembles Sivana....

          I have a derooted Grok head awaiting recasting, perhaps I can get you a copy.

            I think a Doc Venture repainted would work. Lower the eyebrows for more evilness and fix the beard.

                I will. It'll definitely be cast, just a question of when and by whom.

                  These are all good ideas.

                    Just curious, if you fill in the holes with sculpy, would you leave it unbaked? Or fill the entire head and boil it? I just don't feel like that's going to work very well either way.

                    If it were me, I would want a resin cast to work with.

                      I'm getting it recast, I agree.

                        I was thinking of the way my brother and I use to do it which was with a Heat gun on 4, about 3 inches from head and rotate around the head as you heat it.
                        that always seemed to work for Sculpey applications we did.......

                        here is a post talking similar to what I'm describing.....

                          I think you have come up with a really good (& original) idea, darkbros ;-) Good for you!
