He is übercool, not just the amazing looking long hair resting over his shoulders, but also the colours of his clothes and the tattoos and eye patch etc.

Very nice that outfit win those colour and with the bare arms and those legs. The hair piece looks great nice flowing hair can see plenty of uses for that, oh yes and that axe looks good as well like some other ones I've seen, did you just cut the top of one of the longer pieces?  :)

Thank You for your kind words, I was going to post these other pictures but it got too late. I have done most of my work making new beards and fur capes. I have tried in the past to make a hair piece, but with out any success. 2 days ago, I tried this new method. I use a epoxy that is called kneadatite, or as it is more commonly called "Green Stuff" or "Brown Stuff". I use the "Brown Stuff" most of the time. It is a 2 part epoxy, that when you mix together in equal parts becomes a hard plastic/rubber type product. You have about an hour timeline to mold or sculpt what ever you want before it starts to harden. Anyway, I used to take one piece of the epoxy to sculpt a hair piece and I really never like the way it turned out. I am still a novice with doing this, I just keep learning as I go ahead. The new way I tried after watching a video on youtube, was to take 4 or more pieces and then blend them together.

Looks great (I tend to like long hair on klickys :) ). I suppose it doesn't have the same... feel as a playmohair, though? You can't put it on and off?

I only tried one hairpiece (Xenan's - LINK) , and it sure is not the same... I'd be very interested if there was a material that allowed it to be like playmohair...

(I've seen great stuff on your blog, yes... :) )

I feels like a hard plastic that has a little flex to it. As time goes on it will be like plastic. This hair piece I placed over an old playmobil hair piece, but it come off when I was removing it from my test klicky. So this hair piece as it is now, just placed on top of the klicky hair piece. And will fall off if I turn him upside down. Next hair piece I hope to make better. Thanks for looking at the blog page :)
