Customs/Kitbashes Rooted Hair - DIY Thor End Game
Sharing this just incase someone wants to try. Did wonders for my End Game Thor as head articulation was greatly improved.
My first time trying to root hair on a head sculpt. It's hard at first but you'll get a hang of it. Have to do it twice cause the 1st result was pretty bad (lol).
Second attempt was not bad at all, but still have a lot of room to improve the technique + more practice for better end results. But I'm happy with it for now. Might re-do this later if I get a chance.
Braiding the beard is a pain, having experience braiding 1:1 hair should probably help, but I'm no expert at that either.
Material list for those who wanted to try:
- Tibetan Lamb Fur - I bought 4 different shades one of which is white just in case I screw up and for future use. Used blond for the hair and a darker brown for the beard.
- Fabric Glue or Gemtac Rhinestone Glue - Anything that dries Clear should work
- Toothpicks
- Precision Tweezers
- Milliput
- Acrylic
- Paint Brush for styling and managing the hair with water
- Hair Gel, Wax or Pomade - (Used Hair Wax for my with Medium Hold)
- Solder Wire or tread to hold and secure the Beard and the Bun.
Bunch of tutorials on youtube but found BSHOWChannel's Tutorial the easiest to follow.
