1st attempt at corpsing finally done

**eVilcreations** · 10-06-2010,08:12 PM

Well guys, this is my first attempt at corpsing a 3' tall "bucky" type skelly.

I think the stain I used was WAY too dark, but I guess that's how I learn for the next time.

Tell me what you guys think?

The last 2 "final" pics are kinda crappy quality...I'll try to get better pics tomorrow.

Looks great! Not bad for your first attempt! Keep it up!

Wicked sick man!

When you guys do the "staining" process......are you using gloss stain? I think the glossy bones looks kind of fake and am not really liking it that much. And like I mentioned I think the stain I used is a bit dark....

Maybe I'm just a perfectionist....lol

If you think it's to dark, you could always dry brush a lighter color over it

I used sand paper over my bucky to dull him out before I gave him a coat of Shellac. I also rubbed the varnish off most of the bones with Mineral spirits so they will only have a light tint of varnish on them.

thanks for the input guys.....I didn't even think to sand down the bones or to pull the varnish off mostly...

Looks good.
I use min wax and drybrush black in certain areas.
You could dry brush some color on him like a mossy green to break up the color if you want.
You won't mess him up.
