Zombie body advice

[Alucardlugosi]

I'm new to custom action figure making and I would like tips on giving a type s body some zombie like texture without adding
anything to the surface? Like Steel wool or something?

Steel wool would just put scratches on it. That wouldn't look very much like decay. Gouging out chunks with a razor knife or something might look a little better.

I didn't think of that thanks for the advice.

Or maybe use a dremel, to be safer.

Great idea, add an acrylic wash over it and wipe it off slightly to bring out detail.

I think a screen printed fitting body suit would be a better more Megoesque option. For the best look I would start with a Kroger or CTVT skeleton and build up.
