Custom Quintesson

One of the biggest pains in the ass with this guy was the egg looking thing they all 'clip' onto. It was so bland. I sanded it nice and smooth and then layed on MANY small plastic 'shingle' rectangles and squares. Painted those with a black primer, and worked my way up to Neutral Gray highlights. To ice that cake, I sprayed a light coat of Testor's "pearl finish" which is quite nice stuff. It gives a pearl sheen to the paint sprayed onto, which looks like a slight metallic overtone. I painted the ovals with a good 5-6 coats of chrome yellow, and highlighted those with a mixture of yellow + white. I also added some spikes up on the top to give him more of a grim appearance. The faces were quite challenging. Many of them lack detail and needed a little help from Apoxie sculpt. On RAGE (the red face) I sculpted new horns and teeth. For LAUGHTER (redish head ornament with hands on face) I added a gem to his crown, nice and shiney.) DOUBT (spike head) was a pain in the ass, I recreated all his head spikes, and added some bulk to his non-existant eyeballs. I was impressed with the way the face of DEATH came out (sphinx looking one) Only using paint, I created brain looking areas on the top sides of his head and coated those with a high gloss varnish, so it looks like his brain is in a glass bubble.
