    A usually, I sculpted the head in epoxi putti, and the face in FIMO polymeric putty.

    The torso is full made in epoxy putty.

    As I sculpted it separatelly head from torso and from cap, is easier for painting. The paint is acrylic.

    Sculpting of the face is incredible, very smooth & lifelike & it looks even better under paint - what did you use for the eyes?

    Thanks Chris! For the eyes I use small glass beads, so that I can bake the polymeric putty whitout problem.
