El Dorado is a resin collector bust in 1:10 scale from Brokentoad Resin Cast. It is supplied as an unpainted casting, and the center of gravity of the work lies in the painting rather than the building.
Responsibility details are not available.
A collector bust in cast resin in 1:10 scale. It is not a kit in the usual sense: putting the casting together is a matter of moments, and the real work begins only with a brush in hand. Resin holds sharp edges and shallow relief better than injection-molded plastic, so the texture of skin and fabric stands out on the surface and the bust takes fine shading. The 1:10 format is rewarding for figure painting: the face is large enough for modeling the tones, and yet it can be managed in a few evenings.
First wash the parts in lukewarm water with a drop of detergent and let them dry thoroughly. The primer would not hold on remains of the release layer from the mold and the paintwork would later rub away. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a knife, and never snap them off. Level the parting lines and any small burrs with fine abrasive paper, fill the seam where the parts meet with modeling filler and sand it perfectly smooth. If the casting is split, try the joints dry first and only then glue them with cyanoacrylate glue. Resin is better sanded wet and with respiratory protection.
Start with a thin coat of primer, ideally sprayed; on smooth resin that is the most reliable way to give the paint its adhesion. Build the skin up from a mid tone in heavily thinned coats: shadows into the eye sockets, under the cheekbones and into the hollow of the neck, highlights on the forehead, the bridge of the nose and the chin. Apply the reddening of the cheeks, the ears and the nose as a translucent glaze rather than an opaque patch. Paint the eyes before their surroundings: a slightly grayed white, the iris, a thin dark line around the rim, and always check the symmetry against the other eye. Bring out the textiles with a wash into the folds and highlights on the edges, and finish the metal and the leather with restrained weathering. Mount the bust on the base at the very end, so that it does not get in the way.
The bust is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Paints, primer and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
