I have some 12" Gaur Nitai made in marble, for some strange reason when they arrived they only seem to be polished / glazed on the front . Also the painting of Their undergarments is not complete on the back. I would like to know the following please:-
1)Is model enamel paint good to paint marble Deities?
2)Would clear gloss model paint help shine the backs?
3)Where can i get nice hair for my Deities please?
Thanks

Re: Deity wigs and painting marble Deities

where did you purchase your deities from?
Deities usually come painted fully. When I contacted a supplier about the gloss I was told clear varnish would do the the trick. If your deities are going to be dressed you may not have to paint their backs. I always feel it risky to paint deities after purchasing. In most instances an airbush is used to paint deities which gives a perfect blend. But thats just my opinion. You may be an acomplished artist, if you are confident about painting them then do it. I generally use enamel oil paints to refurbish deities. Beware of the varnishes you purchase though, some have a yellow wooden finish. Clear lacquer spray paint should help.
For wigs you could try looking for non human, synthetic wigs/extensions and tailor them.
best of luck
