PUTTIN' On DON'S FACE...

I painted Don's Eyes with Model Master Graphite Metallic.

Then I painted his Teeth with an Acrylic White Primer.

After the Paint Dried, I painted "The Detailer" Black in all the creases and depressions in Don's Face.

I punched out 2 Circles of Blue Masking Tape.

Then I positioned them as Masks for Don's Pupils...

Hey Ira, beautiful work on Don! Wondering? Would his pupils look more "reptilian" as vertical slits rather than round? Of course, round would humanize him? Just thinking.

Thanks Bart!

I am making Don a Cobra, Googled Cobras and found that they have round pupils....

PUTTIN' On DON'S FACE!!! Part 2...

I Googled Cobras and I found the Cobra Eyes, perfect for Don.

I painted Don's Eyes with a coat of Gold, followed by a coat of Metalic Amber.

Next I painted a Yellow Ring around Don's Pupils....

I applied more of "The Detailer" Black aound the Eyes & Teeth.

Then I applied a few coats of Glosscoat.

Don's doing a Test Fit Today.

It's a tight fit but Don likes it that way!

SNAKE MOUTH!!!

Don's Head is now glued into the Helmet.

I glued Don's Tounge in with Zap-A-Gap.

Now I can move the Tounge in to positions without breaking the glue bond.

Red Felt cut to size works Great!
