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!

[rmh16]

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.

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

Wow, your first sculpt you say?! Keep em coming I say!

You did not even have tell us his name the sculpt is excellent. You need to give a razor blade and tape recorder as accessories. How much work went into that?

Man, he looks terrible, in an excellent undead zombie way. Seriously Awesome sculpt. Nice and original especially for a first custom. Very Slick.
