Here’s a few pictures of my custom 3″ Dunny, ‘Applehead’. He was a lot of fun to make and I have lots of ideas for more Dunnys i’d like to customise, but i’d like to find some bigger Dunny’s first :)
.
I started by stripping him and painting with a white cellulose primer, all the colour work was done in acrylics and sealed with matte lacquer, with the ‘apple’ being finished with layers of full gloss lacquer, with metallic and pearlescent powders mixed in so it has a lot of depth. I made the vines from wire and some already tiny fake leaves that i cut down further.
See pictures of him in progress here

The base is a clear acrylic oval painted purple on the underside and polished around the edge. The foliage is varying grades of model makers grass/stones and soil, with long tufts of grass dotted around. His little mushroom friends were sculpted from fimo.
