    Question Resin head skin tone experiment picture: feedback ?

    Here are some heads that I've been playing with trying to get a good skin tone. I'm going to have some of these flocked and wanted some feedback.
    I got the "rubber" look of the last row by mixing more part A in the mix.

    What tones do you like or am I going to have to keep trying?

    Hey Dave, if you haven't sent my two heads out yet....I'd rather some of these flesh ones. The second from the bottom row looks best.

    wow... that's a lot of testing. I like the last 2 in the third row down from the top.
    Fresh, not from concentrate.

    (Sorry, These heads are not for sale at this time BB)

    I'm kinda glad to hear two votes for the rubbery ones. I thought it was just me that liked them.
    The pinkish/whitish ones do match some of the bodies I have better , but personally I havent been a big stickler on skin tones matching when customising my private stuff.
    I should paint up a few to see how it looks with eyes etc . . . .

    Dave - These look really good. I'm with boss, the last 2 rows are the best. Damn fine work. Keep it up. Flocked heads look really cool.

    There are SO many bad, bad places I could go with this subject matter, but since this is a "family friendly" site, I won't.....

    Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

    How about you just tell me which toy head you like best instead? :-(

    Row 3 head 3 seems to match the t1 chest the best. Type 2 bodies are usually a little darker, maybe the last 2 of row 3. Row 4 looks good too, but my personal taste is I don't like the flesh tone to be too dark.

    I'm not sure if some of them seem warmer than others, maybe a touch more red? It's tough to really tell in the photo. Looks like you're on the right track.

    I know there are some folks out there that are sticklers for trying to match the skin tone of the head with the bodies... Perhaps you can offer head skin tones that go with Doc Mego bodies, Zica bodies and Castaway bodies etc.

    Ussually I find I matched a color well. Is when I take a large flash photo of the subject and study it on the monitor zoomed out. A big photo captured with high intesity light ussually tells if you came close to color matching or not. Its hard to say cause the photo leans towards the blue-ish but The third row seams like a good collection of skintones for alot of different body colors.
