Alejandro,

Remarkable, you have captured a mirror image, do you concentrate on his eyes first, and can you tell me what material have you used.

Cheers Ken

Looking really excellent Alex! It would be really good if you could angle the bust and have it asymmetric as in the photograph.

How will you attempt the thinning hair? Human hair dipped in PVA?

Cheers,
Jon.

Thanks for reply, Ken, John, Guy, Vergilius, and Steve.

Ken, I made the eyes at last on the showed step, but, is important make the "holes" most exactly and simetric as possible before, In this bust, I sculpted the form of eyes and other details like the lines of suit because will be not painted, as trophy.

I have used epoxic clay 60% mixed normal clay 40%

Vergilius... THE HAIR!!! thanks for warning friend !! I knew there was something wrong on him...
