Love it, in particular the paint on the eyes.

Cool, thanks for the pictures. Paint looks good here. Could use some pencil thin blue vein work and more wet gloss in the mouth & tounge. His brain shouldn't be popping out exposed in the back of his head though?

The PCS render may not be completely accurate. As it might be a bit buff. But don't care, I love it and getting it anyway.

The other head.

It's got a nice slimy sheen to it. I wonder what is used to achieve that? (acrylic glossy?) I need to buy some and add some to other statues.

I know Pledge floor gloss used to be really popular for those types of touchups by collectors/model builders. Not sure if it still is?

Will it make my statue's smell like Lemon? Lol...

I didn't expect to hear that! I'll look into it, but I don't think floor gloss is a permanent solution meaning, it would have to be applied more than once?

Thanks for the info though! Who knows, it might actually be a good product for what I need it for?

Future floor wax. It works well, is thin, so it's applied easily and washes out of brushes easily with warm soapy water. It doesn't need to be applied more than once, but I usually use 2 coats, letting first one dry for 12 hours or so.

Except I don't think it's called that anymore. There is a whole Youtube video from a model builder explaining the evolution of the stuff... I'll have to dig it up.

Edit: Yeah, a quick google search brought this up: "Pledge Floor Gloss
Pledge Floor Gloss, formerly known as Pledge FloorCare Multi-Surface Finish, formerly known as Future, has a new look. The ever-useful-for-modeling-purposes floor polish goes by a new moniker now: Pledge Floor Gloss. May 24, 2018"

Good to know! I Appreciate your input. I want give some polystone resin statues or more wet & slimy look. I think I'll buy a tiny bottle and just apply some on a small area and see how it looks.
