Test fit cuts
Finally the eye cuts
Are the eye cuts okay? There are guide lines on the blank but it was still pretty hard.

Looking good so far Ryan but I would smooth out the bottom of the proper right eye. The proper left eye has too much of a triangle going on towards the nose. Correct that by rounding the bottom left hand corner of that eye. You went a little too far with the straight line on the top from the nose towards the brow. You can correct this by going where you have your penciled line and cut that to the part that you have hanging down. Go a little deeper towards the bridge of the nose above your pencilled line.
Always draw your eyes a little smaller than you want. That way any mistakes you make cutting them can be tweaked without making the eyes too big. Your doing great keep it up!
They’ll be fine once you hit them with a rotary tool.
Thanks, Don and Bill!
I tried smoothing them as best as possible
I based the eye cuts off of the coke can pic.
Painted the flesh tones. It looks darker in the pic than in real life.
It’s also still drying so the color may look uneven.
Looking pretty good so far man!
Looks great man!
Thanks, everyone. Just finished he paint. Waiting for the camel hair to arrive. I painted it with a sponge so there are air bubbles all over the mask, but you can’t really notice it unless you are very close.
Nice job so far man. There’s gotta be a way to smooth those eye cuts a bit more. Keep at it!
Thanks,James! Tried to pluck off some of the air bubbles.
Looking more and more like an H2 everytime you post a new pic, great job on the paint!
It’s lookin pretty good man! Best paint you’ve done to date.
nice! where can one obtain a blank?
Thanks, everyone! If you want a blank contact Martin Peña
Looking good Ryan I cant wait to see this bad boy haired up.
Final paint. Waiting for the camel hair to arrive! I have some merino wool but although the color is perfect, that stuff comes apart too easily and I don’t really like the feel of it.
I hate merino too, lol.
Man that looks awesome so far!
