Very nice Nap. Love the skin tones and the individual additions really lift this bust.

Hi Nap,
I was admiring your Zulu again and went back to the sbs. Could you go into a little more detail on how you made the feathers or plumes? I'm currently working on a 75mm American Indian figure and would like to add some small feathers that would be about 1/2" long. I not sure I can pull it off but have hankering to give it a shot, Thanks for any help.

Hi Wayne
Thanks for the comment ...feathers .....
Using 2 part magic sculpt ....mix together ( I used slightly more hardener than resin)
roll out to about 1-2mm ..let the putty Ho nearly off
cut out basic feather shape
Using a wire to create the central vane press into putty
Remove vane if you wish
Using a sculpting tool create the flights at a angle upwards on each side
Tidy up edges .,.I added slight indents
Fold sides slightly over , use a former to shape
Once 99% dry position
Once fully hardened I put the vane back in
For the reverse I used JS texture paste and a old flat brush
Finally get the swear jar out before you start !!
Hope this helps
Stay safe

Thanks Nap,
Not experienced in making feathers at this scale. Use Magic Sculpt and Apoxie sculpt. Like all your suggestions and much appreciated. What did you use as a base so you could peel it off and lift it? so you could do the other side as both sides will be seen in my case. I don't like the texture paste; I prefer a slurry of sculpting putting mixed to a slurry to texture wool and now I'm thinking it might work with feathers. Thanks for your explanation to spark my thinking.
Regards and stay safe,

Hi Wayne
No worries ..for a base I used a small cake decorators rolling pin ( curtesy SWMBO ) after putting vasaline on surface , also did the same on my work mat ...I left it to virtually dry before doing the back
The slurry mix would work just as well
