JARED NOMAK


Here's a head sculpted by Morgan Hackney of Chango Designs.  I bought three heads from Morgan.  He shipped them very fast and did a great job on the casting too.  The heads are excellent as you can see.  I tried my best to do them justice, but this is my very first "monster" head I've painted so the results, while pretty good, are still not up to my standards quite yet.  I'll strip the paint and repaint him again one of these days.

Nomak's outfit was fairly easy.  Boots, pants and overcoat are from various WWII Dragon figures.  The green hooded/zippered jacket was purchased from Skip and Robin of Project ARE (check my Favorites links).

One of the problems I had with the headsculpt was the fit.  Although Morgan had predrilled the neckpost, it didn't have a good fit to the standard Dragon bodies.  I had to redrill the neckpost for a better fit.  The second thing was that he had sprayed the heads with a gray primer so the "paint would stick."  It proved more of a nuisance than it was useful because I had to put about six coats of paint on the head just to hide the gray coloring of the primer alone.  The result was that the facepaint looked slightly thick, but it's not really noticeable unless you look at it up close.  I'm not really complaining as I'm sure it works well for Morgan, but my experience with the primer isn't so good.  Morgan, thank you for the excellent sculpts and time in corresponding with me.
