    2018 Starchild re-paint

    I had to destroy the factory paint on one of my Starchild heads for a projects I am doing.
    Got around to doing the repaint today.
    What a great head sculpt behind that factory paint...

    Looks good. I’ll planning on doing the same with Paul and Gene.
    Fresh, not from concentrate.

                Is the original on the right or the left? Just not seeing what's different. I think the right Paul has a wonky star...

                    Gene has sculpted "face paint" details.

                      Still not a fan of the molded hair but your repaint really saves the sculpt.
                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                        At one point, they both did.
                        Expectation is the death of discovery.

                          what kind of paint did you use? I bought Al to make Lt. Leslie but I want to repaint the hair a lighter color

                            I used acrylics to do it. I have Al coming too...plan on doing the same thing you are ;-)
