What the others said, you made an improvement to the mini by taking that decision. Judging by the WIP pic, it really has a comic-book from the 80’s hair style, I know what you mean. I think you did right and the result speaks by itself.

That’s impressive, I can see the messed up areas of the model (casting issues) but you manage to fly between those and never get trapped, Impressive !

In reply to axiom. Thanks axiom! I was actually going to add some nasty red and purple paint blotches but totally forgot until I'd finished the photographs last night! I got carried away with the camoflague pattern and forgot the other finishing touches. Oops.

In reply to Mr Papafakis. Thanks Papa! Yeah, I got as far as base coats then got out the files. I wasn't confident I could get it looking like a bad wig, or something dropped onto his head.

Filing the sculpted head detail off really improves the mini in my book – it removes a slightly confusing element and increases the likeness to the drawn character. I wonder though if you could have added some painted scarring and blotches on the scalp to evoke the artwork? Not that I don’t like big pink baldies like Richard O’Brien of course.

The camo trousers work very nicely indeed too. Great job!

He looks lovely Chris! It’s really pleasing to see a great paint job on such a cool mini.

The burnt scalp detail was filed away you say? It would have looked too messy and/or too difficult to paint it to look like burnt skin?
