Gollum Bust after being washed, puttied and primed with light gray sandable auto primer.
UPDATE (2): February 21, 2004
Airbrushed the base color. This layer consists of a grayish-pink color using Liquitex's Sandalwood/Paynes Gray/Raw Sienna and a touch of Red Oxide. The color was airbrushed in a randomly flowing spray pattern to intermix with the underlying gray primer. Once dry, I sprayed a single coat of Testors Dullcote to seal it.

The base skin layers are finished. Using a "noodling" technique to airbrush the paint, 3 seperate layers are laid down to create a subtle mottling of the skin and emulate the deeper muscles & veins.
Using the base color as a foundation, I mixed in a few drops of Paynes Gray + Raw Umber and laid the first random layer. Red Oxide was then added to this mix and sprayed tighter overlapping layer. Once dry, I thinned down the original base color and lightly missed over the whole kit to blend. Once again, a single coat of Dullcote to seal.
