resculpting hair

[godfather]

I am working on Legends Warrior woman and the casting blocks were on top and the side of her long hair. After removal there is no more detail on parts of the head (sanding ). Suggestions on how to get the detail back. Should I scribe the hair or use epoxie sculpt. I do not sculpt at all so please be gentle

Hi Talino
Not being an expert on sculpting but a keen figure painter and used to solving these kind of minor problems I would suggest this.
I would score with a scalpel the smooth area that you were left with to provide a "key" to then accept an amount of magic scupt or something similar then using a cocktail stick or as I usually do a dental tool which you can easily obtain off the "net" sculp the hair using the original hair that is still on the figure as a guide you can then easily blend the new "hair" into the original After drying and spraying with undercoat you will not be able to tell the difference
Try and have a play at it and good luck
Hope this helps

I had forgotten about that. It does not sound as if there is a lot of hair to do so I would try sculpting it.~Gary
