Day of the Dead... Bub!

[rmh16]

This is my first complete custom. It's Bub from George A. Romero's Day of the Dead! I started by creating an original head sculpt using Super Sculpty. I never got around to casting the head... No funds at the moment (Thanks EMCE!) The body and outfit is from CTVT... I aged it slightly (the outfit not the body!) the restraint collar is made from thin leather with a metal chain attached. The shirt is a sleeveless number that I put together out frustration because I could not find one in the proper scale. I have a backer card created however I have not printed it out yet. As this is my first custom figure any advise or criticism is welcome!

Zombies are a good start for your customizing habit. Welcome to the fold!

yep... I dyed it a few shades darker with ink and water... however it photographs much lighter. I will age it a bit more later.

Dude, that head is awesome, you nailed him

Thanks Meule, it's actually the 2nd one I sculpted... the other one was a tad too big! oh well, it was a learning experience

Nice work, and a great sculpt.

Nice job - especially with the head sculpt! That's a great way to start your customizing career...
