The piercings are waaaay out of scale. Like to a comical level. I'm not sure who's head it was, but it looks a lot more like The Messiah than JC Bailey

Prophet of Ash I didnt want to do the usual paint on piercings and wanted to do something different so I cut out metal pieces for his piercing and didnt want to use the Colin Delaney I see people use so I took a different route thanks for your input  |

The head isn't perfect but it's not a terrible choice. In fact it might be the best fit that isn't a Jakks head. Overall I think it looks great. My only suggestion would be to use molding clay to make smaller loops that could be painted and super glued on the figure. Roll the clay super thin. Make a small loop. Harden with a blow dryer, paint, seal and glue. I think it will take you nice looking figure to the next level. I'm a big Bailey fan and you're doing him justice. Very nice work.
Maybe try this stuff at Michael's

sculpey III is very hard and is not easily molded, a hair dryer does not get hot enough to cure the sculpting material. |

I don't know the differences between the sculpeys I guess. I just know I have some that is easily moldable. I'll have to look and see what kind it is. Even if you do have to oven bake them, I feel like the idea could come out nice.

Also, I know all about compromising on the head selection. I used the same Cody head for my SeXXXy Eddy custom. Not a perfect fit, but you do what you got to do lol.

do not bake the sculpey either....thatll melt your figures. Either boil it or use a heat gun, i know youre trying to help but man if you dont know what youre talking about dont give advice to newbs lol |

Do us a favor then and be helpful instead of making a worthless comment about how big the piercings are. It says bake on the  ing Sculpey. I didn't say put your figure in the oven. Stop busting my balls and make a helpful suggestion. |

I'll tell you what might work for the piercings, small loops in cheap $ store necklaces. You can get them with very small loops for better scale and due to the poor quality, they will be easy to snip.  Out of curiosity, whose head is it? |
