thanks group.
I am truly impressed that he received such a response, especially since this type of thing isn't my forte (digital graphics are).

Here are some more pics and progress notes...

Here are a few parts to give you and idea of casting tint.
The white resin head is my master with the retooled horns and baked clay work. The pictured elastic is what I use to restring bodies. Notice I chopped off the neckplug; I screw in an eyelet to the neck and it is part of my custom threading process.




Doing two-part molds, well...this was my very very first time. I'm sure I wasted a lot of material and my boxes were very very crude. It kinda worked in my favor to get a little bit of flashing on my parts as a result because my parts actually look the quality of CTVT bodies.




Did I say somewhere I cannot sculpt? Well yea...pictured below is the 30 minute test run I did a few years ago on a cloven foot. Uh huh..laugh it up suckas...
The middle leg was one of the very first castings where I tried to tint the resin. The tint was that crappy Tester's Model paint. Not 100% sure if that's why it streaked the way it did...not all parts behaved that way and once I switched over to my automotive paint, not once did this occur.




Here is the Lord of the Marsh in all his nakie glory in a Cast-a-way clamshell. Even though I want the acrylic display case to be the choice of packaging...this is an alternative (if they're instock/available anymore).




This pic is a prototype paintjob I did, prolly back in 2009. I airbrushed the brown mix and quickly painted the details. My gut tells me to continue down this color scheme. I'll definetely do the eyes different...give some black eyeliner and maybe some shadowing under the eyes. Since I have brown castings that don't need to be painted for skintone, I envision using a dry brush method (Thank you BYOZ for teaching me how) to highlight his facial features.
The blue toga is just an experiment and not anything final. I cut up a DrMego blue jumpsuit while at a Mego Meet to give me a physical view. The toga will be custom made.
This prototype is also on the Cast-a-way body which sadly is no longer available.

OK, can I have one now please???

You've done some fantastic work with all the parts. I'm still in awe over how well you made the hoof and leg.

[MLoudin]

Wow! That seriously looks amazing!!!
