Sexy Zombie Pin-up photo shoot!

Charred exposed brain look!
My most hardcore Halloween look yet! Built up a latex bald cap over the course of the day and then built up latex and tissue skull fragments on the head. This was followed by creating and gluing in some brain matter shaped out of Ben Nye modelling wax and set with glycerol for shine and coloured with the FX Skin… -
Re: Busts...
With the Creature: No I didn't cut the limbs. I knew that I wanted to clothe it so I sculpted accordingly. The head, legs and arms are attached to a basic body shape, this gave me a limited amount of movement and play with positioning. The parts that wouldn't allow me to put clothing on, (the legs and main torso) I simply… -

Re: UK VacuForm machine - Cheap 1200W Aldi heater conversion tutorial
Thanks Chris. Yep, the wire included in the heater was insulated with what I believe to be some kind of glass composite woven fabric. I didn't have any twist connectors, so hopefully the heat shrink will hold up. I'll keep an eye on it when I get the rest of the machine built up. Unfortunately it might be a while before… -
Re: Things I Should Have In My Studio
Take this as the beginner input that it is, not a pro here. But for a really nice budget addition with an upscale look, check out grabbing some oven hoods from Lowes or Home depot and attach them to your high power ventilation, once it is in place. Any small detail station using dremel, airbrush painting, fuming glues or… -

Re: Now On-Demand: Fantasy Maquette Sculpting in CX5(S) with Adam Beane

Re: Request Box
Hey guys, If you have a smaller compressor that has no tank, it can heat up over time and cause condensation to build up and then it will start to get water in the line and there really is nothing you can do about this problem. Small compressors are just not designed to be work horses. Even a moisture trap won't stop all…
