E6000. It’s flexible, quick drying and dries clear. I’ll never go back to tacky glue after trying E6000. Tacky glue is messy and takes a day to dry.
what i did was use some spray adhesive to get the hair in a pretty nice segment, then i’d glue that segment down with e600.
oh, i did use streak n tips! i started with blonde crepe wool, i guess the lighting in that shot just makes it look lighter brown. Heres some shots with more neutral lighting

That’s more like it. Lighting really can change everything in a shot. Liking the look of it, very aged. Maybe what the 1978 mask would’ve looked like 5 years in the evidence locker before it started to develop the 2018 appearance.
Just finished five Kirks. Here are some highlights.

How do you hair a mask and have the hair not make the segments look too obvious, I’m hairing a mask and i don’t want to mess it up
When you say segments, do you mean rows, or do you mean each piece within a single row?
my bad, i meant rows
Each row should overlap the row behind it by 2-3 inches. Brush it thoroughly after the glue is dry until little no more hair is coming out in the brush. Wet the hair and run your fingertips from left to right over the entire head to weave and tangle the strands together. Put an old beanie over the head and blowdry it. It’s important to use an old beanie because the blowdryer will stretch it out. No more than 5 rows of hair are needed, and the first row in the back is usually shorter than the rows ahead of it.
Also I usually place my hand firmly against the hairline when I brush the front to avoid the brush pulling off any slightly loose pieces of hairline.
does it matter what kind of brush is used? or can i used an old hairbrush
I just use a regular brush with plastic bristles (are they called bristles?). You can’t mess that part up so if one brush isn’t working well, try another. If this is your first time hairing, you’ll be surprised by how much loose hair comes out. Don’t be alarmed by it.
A recent couple of quick pictures I took of my 78 and H2.
That 78 is one of the best I’ve seen. You did what many people struggle on, getting the flesh tone to be smooth and subtle. Many people just throw orange paint on the nose, eyes and neck. You also pretty much nailed the color. Great job. The H2 is very nice as well, very subtle weathering with flesh tone along with the dirt and grime being just the right amount. Very impressive.
Thank you very much for the kind words. I really appreciate it!
I was taking a look at my H40 rehaul I just got back, and the only issue I seem to have with it is the colour and how to style the actual thing.
Below I’ll show a picture of my hair, and if anyone knows how to get it to the right colour, please reply to this I guess. Originally, a friend told me to use Streak N Tips Midnight Black to get the colour right, but I don’t wanna mess it up.
If there’s a video out there about styling the hair, lemme know as well
Help if you can, thank

From my recollection the hair isn’t that dark in the movie. Your’s looks about right maybe just mess it up a bit and style some parts. You can do this with a spray bottle. Wet the whole thing and mess it up making sure to seperate the fibers then use a hair dryer to flatten it all down. Then use some reference pictures to see how it’s styled and adjust what needs to be adjusted.
Can someone please give me some tips on how to strip the H40s without getting rid the detail?
I did it once on accident and it isn’t a fun process I’ll tell you. TOTS makes them very thin so it’s pretty hard to get it peel right off. The detail is already in the sculpt so peeling off the paint won’t remove that.
Alright, then what kind of drill bit should I use?
I’m not really sure as I did it by hand which took forever.
