Put on light base coat
Since this bash is primarily based on a swamp thing kit, going with a greenish color scheme

OK - TWO pints :) . . . (you need the other thread for that to make sense).

Again - thanks for the updates (and that 3D head print looks NICE too! - where is that from? (link please if you don't mind sharing).

Thanks Ian and B-A for following these latest bashes and providing helpful feedback!

Since my two werewolf bashes currently in progress are both brown schemes, and I have difficulty with red paint schemes, then green it is…. At least for now…

Yes, the balrog head is very cool and there is no way I could sculpt anything close to this good.

I found the balrog head on Etsy.
There are several sellers producing the 3d balrog head and they can make it in different sizes.
I actually ordered 4 of them before I found the right size for this bash, from LeviathanDesignsLLC.

So I now have 3 other balrog heads of various sizes, but I am pretty sure that I will eventually figure out how to use them.
