Hair on Bald Figures

[Gussy]

I would like to put hair on bald heads of GW\'s Chapter Masters set. Do I use GS or there are other ways about doing this? I can\'t find any tutorial on putting hairs on bald guys.

Green stuff rolled out thin and applied and then worked up to hair strands
Worked for me on this One.

GS or any other epoxy putty like MagicSculp, Apoxie Sculpt or Milliput are the best thing for this.

Basically you apply a small blob of the putty (bigger than you think you need), smoosh is firmly into place, then roll or press it thinner which makes it spread more, rough-trim the edges, start shaping and refining the detail with sculpting tool/knife blade/needles, trim some more and so on.

By the way, if you get to the stage of sculpting heads from scratch I\'d still advise you do hair this way - all the hair in the heads in my sig picture was added onto baldies.
