This is the unusual 1:1 scale model of a human skull by Lindbergh Models from the USA.
The quality of the skull model is amazingly good, especially considering that Lindbergh is usually bottom-of-the-barrel in that regard. It has clearly been moulded from a real human skull as the detail is perfect.
The bone was moulded in gloss white plastic which I rubbed with Vallejo putty to give a better texture. Then it was sprayed with Tamiya white primer. Then the primer was rubbed with Vallejo grey powder and sometimes wetted and rubbed and other times just forced into crevices with a stiff brush. The teeth were also primer white, then soaked in tea and washed with yellow then coated with satin clearcoat then filled with grey powder to pick out the gaps and gum lines.
It was a second place winner in the misc. category at the Montreal MIMM 2016 contest.
