I'm taking weight-training to work on my figure ;P. It's working out pretty nicely too, though I'm often quite sore.

LMAO
that's funny.

try drawing...
try painting....
try 3d modelling....
try inking............
or just do what NovaStarr is doing...

It's a great way, but it'll take time.

WTF? I take it you're modeling. Meh, some peeps like super sculpey. It's pretty much a standard for sculpting. I had a buddy who used it a lot for sculptures and modeling. Though, I think he used another product to soften it up, yet it kept the stablity of the form until you baked it. He'd kneed it into the sculpey and prep it before actualy constructing anything. I forget what it was, though, heh, sorry.

You'd use the same for his hair, but you'd use a finely forked sculpting tool to achieve the strands and build it "up." You could find them at any craft store.

Is that kiinda what you where asking for? 0_o

Edit: I take it that you've wired a skeleton for it, correct?

Couldn't you also take like barbie hair and chop it short, style it with mousse? I dunno, I never made a model before.

Thats perfect!! thank you.
-And everyone else, thank you too.

Use modeling puddy my friend. You have a good few hours to work with it and it cures into a plastic. You can get some at better hobby stores aswell as Gamesworkshop if you have one by you. Plumbers two part compound is also good but you don't have quite as much time to work with it. E-mail me if you'd like to know anymore. I'm making a Sektor figure useing this tecnique.
