T2 Donut head build thread

Amazing work HowlRunner. Looks incredible mate. I'll be making a start on mine down the track and was wondering how you achieved the eyebrow? Did you just simply put clumps on with PVA glue like on your Ash bust? If it's not too much hassle I would love to see a close up pic of the eyebrow.

Thanks heaps
 
Cheers guys.

Yeah, I agree, the hair on the temples should probably be brought forward more. Unfortunately I've binned the extra hair now, so don't have any spare to tweak that.

Yeah, for the eyebrows I just glued on small clumps cut from the trimmed wig hair using PVA (Elmer's) glue. If it looked too thick, I used tweezers to remove some hair, if it looked too sparse I added a bit more. Just a back and forth until it looked about right. I also glued on some individual hairs around the edges to feather it a little more.

Eyelashes are human eyebrow hairs (my own) that I glued on individually using super glue.

I have now pretty much finished my T1000 donut head. I still need to style (gel) and clip his hair in a few places but otherwise he is as good as done. Sorry for the low quality mobile phone pics.

HowlRunner.................you weren't kidding about fitting the wig................what a nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you going to give him eyelashes?

Thanks mate. Yes, I'll definitely be giving him eyelashes as well. I hate fiddly stuff so I'll put it off for a while. Also, I will still need to shape his eyebrow to get it looking more natural.
 
That...is one of the COOLEST things I've ever seen anyone do with one of my replicas!! The eye, wig, paint job, and costume is outstanding, man...'Really brings that head to life.

Thanks for sharing your progress! I've had fun watching it all develop. :)

Cheers,

Ryan
 
Looking awesome mate....I think the only thing that really needs to be done to make him perfect is the recedind hairline.

Thanks heaps mate. I think this is about as good as I can get the hair positioning. These Gregory wigs look great but are a nightmare to work with as if you try and 'shape' them you expose or buckle the lattice underneath and it will look terrible.
 
Decided to paint up my t1000 doughnut bust. Have the gregory wig on order and need to make a few finishing touches but its coming along.

 
Hey guys,

I finally turned my bust into a lifesize. I also drilled out the resin teeth and put in acrylic denture teeth which really made a massive difference. Sorry for the subpar video quality. Just using my mobile phone.
